Not structural? 
Your car will drive like the wheels are unbalanced forever more now.
Whats caused it to do that anyway? never seen that happen before.

that part of the wheel does not touch anything its just the center cap that fits into it , its on the rear so will not matter if not balanced, and
derv- power how you know the center bore is to small??? i have to use spigot rings on the rear as there is a gap
all i can think how it happened is that the wheels havent been put on flat and have been tightened up and pulled flat

well after yesterdays funs i wasent happy with welding the wheel so went and picked it up and took it to the tyre place to get the tyre ripped of as was going to but a new wheel, got talking to the owner and he said that it might be the face of the hub pushing on it , so went back the lock up had a look at the other side and this is what i found
cracked all the way round , fitted the other broken wheel with the spacer on
screw driver to show the gap
and then fitted without the spacer on
the hub was touching on the back so must of been pushing, previous owner must of had to use spacers but i didnt relize this till it was to late
so now i have 2 big useless paper weights
still undecided on what to do as the wheels and tyres only cost me £150 and i need 2 more wheels witch will be around the £200 mark ?????????
so now its sat on its cav turbo wheels

Ben, Ste Powell said you bought some boost pipes off him. Any chance I could borrow the turbo to intercooler one to see how and where about it fits?
