It is bizarre, as I thought they were all pretty much the same size (the hole in the middle!) and never really gave it any thought. Will see if I can find the bits I read that lead me to believe it wasnt legal and why.

EDIT: Found this on the SpeedyWheels.com.au site:
Quote:
Hub Location - Alloy Wheels

The hub hole is the hole in the centre of the wheel which mates with the centre hub of the car.

By not locating a wheel on the cars’ centre bore, the vehicle can sometimes encounter vibration problems.

All Speedy alloy wheels are either supplied with centre bore locating rings or are machined to be a perfect fit with the vehicles hub to completely eliminate any of the above mentioned scenarios.
Note it refers specifically to alloy wheels though. But then maybe they dont sell steel wheels??
