Koya Drifteks

[mystery_kid]

long story short i'm in need of 1 driftek gold rim, 17x8 +34

first of all the guy at the place i was going to get it through tried to tell me that koya or whatever can't match exactly the same colour gold..... come the f**k on they come in 2 colours the gold that everyone has and black

and i have 10 holes in them, 5 where the studs go and 1 in between for decoration making 10, reckons he can only get them with 9 (multistud?)

i think he's just trying to get a full set of rims out of me

can someone just confirm the facts for me about these rims regarding the stud holes mainly i read on ns in a thread that 9 holes only came on black drifteks, the colour bullshit he tried to feed me i don't believe for 1 second

Hey mate, he's full of sh*t, I have 17inch gold drifteks on my R33 and they have the extra holes you are talking about

Hey mate, teh reason you have 10 holes is for different cars with a different PCD.

Can't remember exact specs but there are two different PCD's in 5 stud.

And i've never heard of a car coming with 9 holes?

The holes would overlap each other and make them unusable.

In multistud it's either 10 (5 stud) or 8 (4 stud rims).

Anyway hope you find what you need bud.

yeah i've got the low down, basically koya are dodgey as and change coolours and designs like their underwear

i ended up putting the rim in for repair because no one could guarentee me a rim that would be exactly the same

steer clear of this cheap shit.

sorry to burst your bubble dude, but there are some rims which are multi stud (i.e. 9) these are normally made for 114.3 pcd cars 4 stud and 5 stud a good example of these are the veilside andrew rims which are fkn wide as they came with the multi stud pattern also i had a set of 17x9 rays rims which were multi stud (5 and 4) [its rare but there are some rims like this]
