I really wouldn’t sweat it too much, we did ours by hand with a drill and it worked. If you have access to a drill press and can allow the bit to center itself, lock the wheel down and apply drilling oil, you will very likely have success.
What you don’t want to do is let the bit float and have one hole out a mill or two and the opposing hole out a mill or two and end up with wobble.
Lay the wheel on your bench, bring the bit down until the crown seats in the stud hole, lock the wheel in place and drill real slow, you “should” really be fine (they are aluminum, so your bit should easily cut through them).
