I have a set of gold 5x114.3 only drifteks for sale

3 of them are fine 1 of them i damaged on the inside edge of the wheel, it's been repaired but i don't think they did a very good job as it will randomly drop air

it's a bit of a saga but i could go tomorrow and get the tyre put back on it and it will hold air for 2 weeks fine then i'll come out one monring and it's dropped all it's air. it's been repaired for like 2 years now, it held air for over a year after i first got it repaired then i took them off the car for a track day and put them back on the car after i came out the next morning and it's dropped it's air.

in all honesty all it really needs is to be taken to a good wheel repairer and they will touch up the weld and it would be totally fine. <$200

they all have a bit of gutter rash around the edges but nothing bad at all

17 x 8 +35 and 17 x 9 +38 i think, offsets to be 100% confirmed tonight

i will have pics up tonight

Price: $500 - if you factor in say $150 (seriously won't cost that much i don't think, it only cost me about $200 to get it repaired in the first place) to get it repaired you get a set of rims for $650 that are in otherwise good condition

the reason i'm not getting them repaired is i took this as an oppotunity/good excuse to get some work wheels :]

that's the repair, the inside of it needs to be cleaned up i think and you should be right to go

the black shit is from when i got the tyre put back on they loaded it up with beed sealer and it lasted for 2 weeks and then i came out one morning to the same result

    • 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🤷‍♂️
