LC, that wheel has two air valve holes. The rubber one seen is just to plug the hole, as it isn't needed. I really hate when companies drill that backside hole in the inner hoop, it is a worthless position 99% of the time. Most wide fitments on any vehicle will collide with suspension parts if something sticks out back there.

Camaricopa, I would never ever use cheap knock-off cast wheels for the rigors of road racing. I've seen the spokes crack and separate from the hoop on too many of those. Also, keep in mind that any Corvette wheels were designed to work with a 3200 lb 2-seater car, not a 3850 lb tank of a vehicle like the Camaro. Going too cheap on wheels can leave you with expensive consequences. Pay extra for safety and quality.

You will never find forged wheels that crack and break like these cast wheels can. When they crack, results are often catastrophic.
