James,

Can you measure the width (height/depth) of the central hole (parallel section) which locates on the drive flange please.
The center section has to be machined if they have been fitted to a three door Sierra, I have several sets machined but am looking for un-machined centers might be able to do a deal.
Strip the paint of the magnesium centers and get them crack detected as they are very prone to cracking where the spokes join the rim of the center section.

Thanks

Steve

Thanks James, but not the dimension I meant, where the central hole runs parallel, what length, but it does not matter as you have answered the question that they have been used on a Sierra which means they must have been machined (had material removed from their mounting face)otherwise they would not fit.
I have many center sections machined for a Sierra, I want in-machined centers but
If you get any more let me know we might be able to sort a deal.

Thanks

Steve
