I recall a magenta hatchback with walky rims in a magazine about ten years ago. It didn't look terrible but it's not a look that I would encourage.

I love the Walky wheels, with the right paint combo I think they would suit a Retro style Torry! No picky's sorry!

I thought Commode and HQ stud pattern were the same, just the offset was different??? Not 100% sure though

The stud pattern is slightly different. about 1-2mm. Enough to wreck your studs though, and not recommended to use commodore rims on HQ stubs or vice versa.

0.65mm sounds pretty close to me (0.325mm on radius), I'm sure BMW PCD is further out than that and there's plenty of Commonwhores getting around with those rims on.
I don't own a Commode (anymore) though so I can't say definately.
Sorry if I've offended anyone with my slang.

BMW and commy run the same stud pattern.
Running commy wheels on chev/HQ stud pattern is asking for trouble.
You have been warned.
