Koya

Postby Nixon » Thu Oct 25, 2012 6:56 am

Looking at a new set of koya rims and I'm wondering if anyone has had much experience with them. Are they a good sturdy rim and would you recommend them?

Do they meet the usual requirements?

JWL VIA etc?
If so, then they've been tested and are safe for the road.



Regardless, the Koya Driftek is basically the default wheel for people with Skylines and Silvias, many of them drift etc which isn't particularly kind on wheels.
I've not heard of one breaking.

I could have sworn I've seen a few sets on ebay from some of the usual "fully sick rims bro" shops?
The AE-Tek thing I think it was?


Granted, they've all been hellaflush offsets and sizes though.

A no go in oz? I'm looking at a set of 15x7 from option 1 garage, he said he gets them in 3 days with you choice of offset between 0 and +20/25 or anywhere in the middle as they're custom made or something might be somewhere to look for ya or else I spotted a set of the ae tek with tyres on the goldy for sale on boostcruising
