Four hole Star Sharks are relatively common. These five holes are on Yahoo Auctions this week. If I’ve seen these before, I certainly can’t remember. Seems like 15″ would be a more useful five bolt diameter though.
Q Osborne
Someone emailed this week asking about center-lock wheels and there fitment on cars with conventional hubs. We saw a couple months ago, a “faux” center-lock wheel by Volk. Hayashi’s 2463 system however, is a real center-lock that uses an PCD adapter. It’s very simple, as you can see. I certainly […]
Hayashi 2463 Center Lock System
Most of you who are regular visitors come specifically for the wheels. Google analytics actually blew me away when I looked last month and discovered this site is getting more views than ever before, most of you straight to the Kyusha Shoes page. The wheel database is growing. If you […]
三百本旧車ホイール
I’m getting lots of emails recently about buying things off Yahoo Auctions Japan, and I don’t have the ability to help you all individually. I can’t advise you much better on the condition of a particular item based on the written description much better than Babelfish, nor can I […]
Yahoo Search Aid
The wheel search isn’t going so well. So much so, that I’ve almost decided to go with boring Enkei RP01’s again. They’re good light, strong, affordable wheels but it’s pretty hard to love any car that sits on an ordinary five spoke. It’s also pretty hard to find an upgrade […]

Buying goodies from Japan has been an expensive venture for the past few years. But look at our dollar climb now. The Canadian dollar is getting close to even with the Japanese yen, and I for one, am going berserk on Yahoo. In fact, I’m sending my wife and kids […]
Yahoo Alert
I guess it’s just the way things spread, but ironically now that I’m distancing myself from the kyusha scene, I’m getting a lot of emails and comments about wheels. Most people are looking to show me SSR MKII’s and Advan A3A’s, but occasionally some of them present me with something […]
Show Me Your Lighting Bolt
Someone recently emailed me about these shoes found on yahoo auction: definitely the unicorn of kyusha wheels. No idea what he paid, but I know what he could sell them for and who might buy them. Rad stuff. There is very little documentation on stuff this old (1981-1985ish), and of […]
And Now His Watch Is Ended
I was pleasantly surprised today to learn that 2002 WRX had a factory option 17″ wheel package. That means for me… that I can ditch my 16 6.5J wheels for some 17 7J wheels and gain a whole bunch of options as far as tires go. Seventeens would probably also […]
