oblong lug nut holes on rally rims?

Pics would be best.
If it's hub centric I bet you'll be fine. Meaning the center of the wheel fits exactly over the hub. In that case the wheel center takes the vehicle load not the lugs. The lugs just hold it on.
Most a/m wheels are not hub centric and rely on the lugs to center and hold the wheel on. For this I wouldn't trust wallowed out holes. You said rallys so I would think this is not your case.

I have found a lot of the rally wheels with the lug nut seats wallowed out. I will not use one. Someone left the lugs a little loose and/or put them under a lot of strain and never retightened them.
Wheel is junk. No way to fix it.

If its one hole, realistically you can get away with it no issue. Just make sure you tighten the other lugs up first to properly center the wheel.
Meh, it's a rally wheel, don't you have ten more sitting around? Or am I the only one with that problem . . . . . .
