You should be okay as long as you aren't planning on racing or
autocrossing. Many wheels sold in the 60's and 70's had slotted holes.
Make sure you use the correct shouldered "mag" type lug nuts (with
washers of course).
You have another issue in that the "large" bolt pattern is 100mm which
is slightly smaller than the 4" Spridget pattern (4" is 101.6mm). I
notice the listing did state they were "dual" drilled for 98mm and 100mm
patterns.

Subject: My Libres are drilled should I return them?
Frank & Spridgets,
I just received this set of American Racing Libre wheels from eBay #
8073122350 and I see the lug bolt holes have been drilled to fit
something
other than was intended. Will that be dangerous to use on my Sprite?
Should
I get my money back?
Thanks Lin
