Wheel Weight - What is a decent weight?

4.5kg! Damn! ... Do you have a link to pictures these rims?

Thanks Daridah,

The wheels look really good. In the pictures it looks as if they are more of a deep gunmetal colour rather then black...is that right or is it just because your paint is super shiny and in good nic?

You are correct, they are more of a dark gunmetal grey. IMHO it looks a lot better!

Adam:

What offset are your P1's ?

I'm going to be purchasing a set of buddy clubs soon, i think they only come in the one offset though

I got chastised by my alignment guy for changing the offset by 2mm!

talk to justinfox, he has a friend that can import jap stuff.. Zi i think his name is

i got my wheels off him, 15x7 and 3.8kgs each 1600 no rubber

best advice i was givin when shopping for wheels was: cheap, light, strong choose any two

great site to browse for wheels that will also search ebay for them for you is

http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/

some it will also list the sizes available and wieghts, stud patterns etc

my next wheels will be these

I've been told that Buddy Club P1's are actually made in Taiwan and only cast, not forged like Volks and Advans. NB: the Buddy Club P1 QF's are a different case altogether and are actually one of the lightest forged wheels available.

Hard to justify the price for just a sticker brandname when they're not really any better than the Starcorp's?!?! :shock:

I had to wait three months for my bronze Volk CE28's to be made in the size and offset I wanted (16x8 +25). I love the colour, look, forged strength and low weight (5.8kg) of them, but there's nowhere near as much dish as I was hoping for ... check out egg80x's wheels!! :mrgreen:

Pretty sure the 16x8 buddy clubs are +35 - had my eye on them for a while. Well priced too from memory.
