Well, mine came with a cap cover (that wasnt on the rims) that said 'Kreuzer' which i traced back here

http://www.mackinindustries.com/md/yokohama/seriesv.html

However the actual badge on the rims said Koya.

I bought mine off eBay brand new about a year and a bit ago.

Sorry to dig up a slightly older thread but wanted to add something. The centre cap on one of my rims started to fade and generally look crap, so i shot an e-mail off to Koya and 2 days later they sent me 4 new centre caps at no charge. Not even postage costs.

Pretty damn brilliant after sales support.

I got the imagines mate, pitty they were damaged during fitment and im now in a shit fight with the tire mob to get it fixed. ATM im in talks with office of fair trading.

But yes they are a nice simple wheel like the imagines

On the face of it Koya will appear to be good value, but if there is a problem and they get something wrong - then you will get screwed. Here is my review: https://www.productreview.com.au/r/koya/1715546.html

I did not know Koya was a custom wheel maker.. thought they just spat out Chinese wheels

"spat out Chinese wheels" is probably best way to describe Koya. They do say they make custom wheels but they can't even get the most basic thing right i.e. the wheel has to fit the car it was ordered for.

Now I am planning to just ditch the crappy Koya wheels (which doesn't fit) and order a custom set from http://www.forgestar.com/wheels/ - True the forgestar will cost a bit more, but surely with over 30 years experience they will get the fitment right ? I also see forgester provides "FI TEST REPORT FOR LIGHT ALLOY WHEEL" for the selected wheel type/size, that should give me some additional peace of mind, to know that the wheels were actually tested and not "spat out". I will post a youtube video link once I get the forgester wheels so you can compare the difference in fitment.

lol...so did you specify the offset you wanted? or just ' hoped' they would know the perfect offset for your car?

And then get cut because they wouldn't give you a free swap to a different offset after you'd fitted them to the car and didn't like the way they sat?

The first set of koya drifteks I got were fkn horrible, they sat too far inwards like stock wheels.....oh wait....I didn't specify an offset to them. ..so they sent out something based on stock fitment. Yep my bad, not theirs.

I did not tell them what off-set I wanted other them tell them about the make model and year of the car counted on them to do the research to know what off-set would fit or ask me for any other information if needed. They decided on their own 50mm off-set for the rear would fit the car - which obviously was wrong as the wheels stick out too much and the tyres rub against the fenders

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
