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

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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
