Its just a little bit of casting porosity, it will be fine, but you'll probably need to fit a tube to the tyre.

Nothing a bit of body filler wouldn't put right

The seller says it all really,

once repaired it should look as good as the others.

Same principle follows here I am sure,

Some stick on balance weights stuck over the holes should fix it.

Just today I heard an interesting story.
I met a man who had a customer with very rare magnesium wheels for a Maserati.
He wanted to repaint them and gave them away for removing the paint.
The paint remover put them into the wrong bath for alloy wheels and
most of the wheels dissapeared....

I have heard about people who have done that too. Put Aluminium or Magnesium wheels in a Caustic Soda bath & they will last just minutes.

I note that the vendor also has a v5 document for sale "with good rallying history"

Ah, the sight of a well driven historic V5c at full chat through a forrest stage, it'd bring a tear to a glass eye.

I could be wrong but I suspect some sarcasm in this thread?
