One thing to consider is the sensitivity of cast magnesium to water
corrosion, if you're running OEM Campys. If the center cracks the protective paint
layer and water gets in there on a nice tight-fitting wheel, the resulting
corrosion will swell the wheel center enough so you may need a wheel puller
to remove it! As said, the lug nuts usually center what little run-out
remains. Note that the lug nut recesses are machined at 60 degrees on street lug
nuts and wheels, while race wheels & lug nuts are at 45 degrees. Its a very
bad idea to mix these parts- the combination of race wheels and street lug
nuts HAVE loosened and lost wheels. FWIW- J Deryke
