this is a little off-topic, but i remember a thread here about using Z rims 
on a roadster.  i have the 280ZX turbo rims (aka "swastika" rims) on my
67.5. 
 the rims are held in place by lugs each wearing 2 washers.  the problem is 
that the rims don't seem to be self-centering.  that is, there is no way for

me to ensure that the rim is truly centered on the hub with my set up, as
the 
lugs don't fill the holes in the rims.  i know there is a little bit of play

(and some "shimmy" at speed).  is there some sort of spacer availabe to fit 
in the lug holes of the rim to ensure they are on right?
thanks for the invaluable assistance.
you guys are great
