just got some second hand wheels
got em on and they feel fine but when i fitted em the bolt holes match perfect but the centre hub is totally different size and dosent fit anywhere near as nice as the standard or bbs wheels
just want to know if this is safe???? as it occured to me that theyre may well be a lot of extra strain on the wheel bolts because of the hub centre not fitting tight
please let me know what you think as ive been out today manchester and back doing 110s plus and dnt want the wheels to fly off :drive: Daz

Should be ok Daz, especially when you think about the number of people with non standard wheels on, although a lot are supposed to have hubcentric rings, maybe you should have a set with them. Studs will easily take it, cummon Citerons only have 3! (or did for quite a while)

Post a pic of the new wheels mate, quick before you go on hols.
