GSL-SE wheels on a 2nd gen?

I've got a chance to buy some 4 lug 15" Borbet wheels with new kumhos that were used on a GSL-SE. I'm pretty sure they'll fit my 4 lug 86 but can somone just verify that for me?

Thanks!

As long as its from a 1st gen GSL-SE model and you have the 4 bolt 2nd gen, they will fit.

Stock Gsl-se wheels have smaller center bores by about 1/4" than the FC four lug hub, but any die grinder with a rotary file can fix that:

I see!

These are 15" five spoke Borbet wheels though. Hopefully the center hole will work as is.

I'm getting the wheels + mounted Kumho Victoracers (autocross tires) for $400. The tires have only one autocross on them. Not a bad deal I don't think. Not incredible, but I'll take it, because otherwise I was going to buy new.
