I think the H1 wheels have a larger cutout for the hub than the H2 wheels so they wouldn't be 'hub-centric' when you put them on an H2. I don't know if it makes a difference running lug-centric wheels on an H2 or not...but thought I'd through that out there as additional information.

Well, knowing that, you could have some vibration issues. That was a common problem when mounting non-hub centric wheels on a hub centric vehicle. They do make hub centric rings, which match the diameter of the wheel hub on the outside and the hub on the inside, and they help, but are not always perfect. Not sure if there would be any that would fit that application though.
