Hi guys,
they seem to have a valid company (as far as i can judge) with a decent website. The main reason why i did not posted the web adress is that i didn't wanted to be considered as a spammer. I knew also about the airkewld wheels but if you look for 17x7 in 4x130 you end up in weird selections (at a price...).
Really guys, i was so discouraged while shopping for this. For weeks I sent dozens of email all over the world (even in japan!) to find it. You are quite right that all it takes is a manufacturer small enough to be willing to reajust his CNC drilling machine and make to fit, but after contacting about 30 manufacturer (some very small, some very big), i received always the same answer.
At the end when i got that positive answer it was quite a news. Then to help the community i went to as many vw forums as i could the spread the good news. The thing is if those companies realize that we form a decent market, maybe they will serve us better and better with newer products.
For your info, Alex works for Winston's Place at http://www.winstonsarea51.com. He was by far the most reactive and most probably used his influence with his suppliers to convince them to go 4x130. I felt this worth mention.
Have a good day guys.
Louis
