Has anyone done this before? Which spokes do you leave out?

In the interest of symmetry and balance, you would have to skip over two opposing holes on each flange. The two open holes on one flange should fall halfway between those on the other. Mark these four holes before starting, then lace 32 spokes to the rim. Center a spoke crosspoint over each open flange hole. Personally, I would look for a new rim or hub instead, but this trick should work passably in a pinch.

Maybe you drill 4 new holes in rim, no?

You realy shold get some kind of knowledge before posting stuff like this. You for lack of a better term are wrong on your answer. Spoke holes are evenly placed around the rim. Therefore if you have 32 you cannot evenly drill 4 more holes in it. Howevr you could try it on your wally world special ad let us know how it goes. Therefore if you mess it up it is no big loss.

I did this once. Skipping hub holes exactly as John E says is the best way. But, a few problems arise when threading the spokes to the rim. As the hub/rim hole spacing isn't exactly relative and also that holes where skipped, the spokes need to be increasingly longer. You'll need 4 sets of spokes in about 8 different lengths.
I used a CAD program to figure out spoke length....and also design a spoke pattern enabling me to use the same length spokes. Sorry, I don't have the drawings anymore...
