Default Is this wheel shot?

Hi

I bought these Camaro SS ZR1 wheels off craigslist and I guess I didnt look at them all very closely when I did. The lug holes on one wheel are way out of round and I would like to get some opinions on if the wheel is shot. The lug nut feels to sit square, but it sure doesnt seem like there is alot of contact area. Thanks.

These are "Lug Centric" correct? The nuts don't just hold the wheel on, but center the wheel as well?

I'm bummed. I should not have trusted the guy when he told me the rear tires had 30-40% tread...I get there and they were bald. Lesson learned.

You can't run a hub centric ring with them? Looks like he drilled them to fit another bolt pattern car. Lol.

That happens when the lug nuts come loose, is what I read. It made sense as the inside holes on the front of the wheel are beat up too. I will look up this "hub centric ring"

Otherwise you could keep the center cap and track one down. They shouldn't be too hard to find on ebay or car-part.com or something
