The centre bore on all production car road wheels is centred to the the spigot on the hub/flange.
The weight of the car shouldn't be taken by the wheel bolts/studs alone.
It's an important engineering feature.
For David's sake, I wish I'd had that in mind when I ordered the Minilites for him.
Having said all that, David's classic 5 spoke Revolutions (which the Minilites replaced) have sleeve bolts with no taper, and no spigot feature at all.
That type of sleeved bolt/stud is not typical though.
It seems that some aftermarket wheels are supplied with spigot rings, rather than having the wheels machined to specific centre bores.
