A big problem with honeys is back in the day the popular tire machine was the Coats 20/20 machine and if you weren't careful the machine would make the outer hole where the center cap goes egg shape. Then the outer cone was out of the question AND you couldn't put the center cap back on...the wheel is pretty much junk after that.

The hole where the center cap goes on a couple of my wheels were egg shaped, just as you suggested. I was able to use an exhaust pipe expander and get them pretty round again, good enough that the center caps now fit fine.

Interesting history to learn how those centers became egg shaped! Thanks!
