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, 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]

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
