Not the best way to do them, don't see why they weren't just rotated slightly.
I'd probs use them on a road car that don't get chucked about, not on a track car though!
The main force etc is on the centre bore, less on the bolts.

Not a chance I would put them on chris. Soon as u give the bolts a tighten it will rip the thread straight through.
Here's a pic of mine that my mate made
mine are close but nothing like yours.

Exactly my thoughts Alex! And the 4 holes that bolt it to the hub are far too big for the bolts I got so that would be dangerous too! Tbh mate there's not even 0.5mm of metal between them so would even take much, all it takes is a little bit of pressure on one of those and that will break

Not ideal, but no less safe than using locking wheel bolts on a 4 stud wheel, (locking wheel bolts shouldn't be load bearing)
Using cad could of probably found the ideal location for it all.
Could have used a smaller counter bore.

Jays are more like it!
Hadn't noticed the hole size.
How much were they?

While I agree with this, its two bolts that wouldn't be able to take any load, thats just mad imo.

i agree Alex. mine have plenty on meat inbetween all the holes and were done by CAD.

They'll be fine to use for whatever purpose you want. There's got to be less than 5% of the thread breaking through and the hole next to it is just for clearance.
In my opinion you're well within your rights to send them back since they look a bit dodgy - that's the only thing up with them as far as I'm concerned though.

The wheels would never come off as long as you do all the fixings up tightly and the metal isn't just balled up tin foil

Alan they wouldnt be fine for long, Any vibration (hit a hard bump) that puts strain on those 2 holes will rip through and pull them out so wheel could easily come off!
 Not a chance andy!

I'd rather pay 4 small African children to hold onto my hubs and wheels, as I drive.
