I would assume that yes, 4x114.3 is not commonly stocked. Just not a very popular lug pattern IMO. Also, not many people stock Rays/Volk wheels either. Usually only if they got them at a cheaper price or did a buy in

I know what you mean. I recently bought a set of 16" Rays Gramlights off of a HT member "Dorby" and when I unwrapped them I saw one wheel was bent. Not only, does he refuse to refund my money or send me any amount back to help pay for a new wheel, but I have to wait 90 days to get one. And these wheels are the more common 4x100 as well.

It seems like most companies rarely stock Rays/Volks. Good luck on your search bro.

Your lucky if it only takes 3 months. You gotta remember that all companies have to get them from Mackin who imports them from Japan. Now common wheels they will order and have in stock, but if you want a non common wheel it has to be ordered and then the wait begins. I had to wait over 5 months for a set of Noble Gold Volk GT-7 so 3 months is a light snack.
