I just got my "new" LBP rallye rims and one of the rims has all five lug holes wallowed out to about 5/8". They will be going on 1/2" studs. Can I use this wheel on a daily driver?

considering those wheels are re-popped and not really all that rare......

I would make that one into a garden hose reel and use a better one on the car

an accident will cost far more than a new wheel or even a set of new wheels

Best post of the day!!!!
 
Well, I guess I'll see y'all over in the parts wanted forum. :) At least I got all 4 trim rings and center caps.
 
You have nothing to lose.

Drill the cap screws out to 9/16 and use washers on the old lug holes to hold on the cap.
 
Please Please do not use those
They are not safe to use on a car.....Your garden hose sure.
 
The small holes are for the cap screws.

I was not referring to the cap screw holes, I was making a joke about how badly those holes were wobbled out...making them look like the unilug holes that are oblong and fit two patterns
 
Those are toast. Scrap them.
