    You aint seen nothing yet. Wait until the 3 Holden encyclopedias (Byron, Greg and Jason) get going on a real discussion involving the intricacies and specifics of the HQ-HZ range. That'll make your head spin.

    I think he's talking about the photo showing the back of the centrecap. The hole in the lower left corner looks like it's worn a bit on one side. This means the wheel nut doesn't seat properly and may work it's way loose.

    Oh i see...

    Like its not a perfect circle?

    Okay i get that! Do any of them come with a perfect circle fit seeing as though their so old/restored.

    Wouldnt a good tapered nut hold that in?

    It is for 5 so perhaps that would be the spare???

    If I was you and lived close I would go and look at them before you hand over the cash.
    It looks to me like there are 2 holes elongated. (top right same pic)

    What I think WBute meant was these wheels have been regarded as just trailer wheels for the last 30 or so years and are only now popular and are being pulled of trailers and res erected.

    Unfortuantly i'm in melbourne, so won't see up close and personal. It appears this guy does this sort of stuff for a living so i guess, to some degree, its buyer beware.

    he has been helpful though. I asked him if the stud holes were elongated and his reply was:

    "stud holes are good, very good condition. the wheels sit well on hub and centre up well, i had them on my car before fully restoring them"

    So yeah - its one of those things on ebay to take the benefit of the doubt
