I got rims from ebay and I was screwed!

I got a set of american racing rims off of Ebay for $135 for a set of 4. I was quite happy, but I am about to install them and one of the rims have all 5 holes enlarged into an oval almost. The rims tightens down well, but is that safe? What can I do? Thanks for any input.

The seller just told me he took them off of his 1971 camaro. Atleast he is sending me a set of lugs to see if they will fit right.

sometimes the holes have to be drilled to fit out cars... maybe someone had drilled them abit before... as far as i know tho after drilling as long as the wheel is on tight there should be no problems
