My opinion is that if they appear sound, but just off center, leave 'em alone. I have had years of success with this. Not very anal, I know. I replaced a set on a replacement once because one was dis

Yep. I installed a set of Dan Gurney Indy style alloys on my 65 Spit that I got off of a TR7 in a junk yard ($50 for the set). They bolt right on! I also retrieved the larger TR7 studs. (Use the rear
