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.

could you specify the size wheel (height, width and offset) you recieved for the car you have please?

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, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
