Wheel experts - Volk wheels Question

I dont know if this belongs in the technical section, if not mods feel free to move it.

So I picked up a set of old school Volk GR-C's yesterday, and now I'm abit confused as to how these wheels work. Their two piece wheels produced in 1992, the sticker on the inside lip says the wheels are 5x114.3, BUT when I bought the wheels the seller gave me spacers with them saying he needed these to make them fit on his skyline. I assumed he just meant for clearance issues, then when i got them home I realized the bolt patten on the actual wheel is 5x100 and the spacers adapt the patten from 114.3 to 100. So i did some reseach and came to the conclusion that volk only made these wheels in 5x100, but sold the needed adapters with the wheels for other 5 lug applications. I am Right here?



Second the spacers only came with just ovber 1/2 of the studs. does anyone know where i can get replacement studs like theses?


Third, the lug holes in the wheels are EXTREMELY Shallow and narrow, tuner lugs could fit width wise, but the holes are less then an inch deep and the ring for the center caps sits basically flush with the top of the lug holes, so if their any longer then the hole size the center caps wont be able to go on. Did Volk make special lug nuts for these? or can I get open end tuner lugs or something?


Lastly, I'm missing one of the center caps, so if anyone knows where I can get one or two I will love you forever.


Sorry for the long post, any help is appreciated.
