Just got a set of raceline beadlocks. The lugs are drilled leaving an extremely small amount of metal between the center hole and the lug hole. So thin that when the drilled the center bore afterwards it just bent the metal out. Should I be concerned, does this look right?

That certainly looks less than ideal.

It’s fine. Some of mine had no metal between the machined lug hole and the center hole. I talked to their engineer about it and he assured me that structurally they are fine.
