BUDDY CLUB WHEELS!!! (serious input please)
hi guys
im thinking about running a group buy for buddy clubs FORGED wheels.. i want SERIOUS input here please...what i need to know is how many people would actually buy them...if its something ur not sure about...please use the "not sure" option...ive included sizes/offsets and colors for voting on as well ive posted voting options for colors and sizes for S chassis owners these wheels are a great bang for your buck...i know theyre a little pricey...BUT...here are the specs (taken from buddy clubs site) • Each size is individually engineered and produced. A 15" wheel is not a scaled down 18" wheel and vice-versa. • Aircraft grade 6061 aluminum is used and is forged using an 8,000 ton hydraulic forging machine. • Unique forging technology does not sacrifice strength for light-weight • Shot-peened surface for even greater strength. Powder coated finish. 17x9 | +5 | 5x114.3 | 14.3lbs 17x9 | +15 | 5x114.3 | 14.5lbs sorry 4 lug guys...no love for you in this pole...5 lug is seriously a cheap enough upgrade now to MAJORLY consider before buying ANY wheels if the group buy DOES go thru from your input...i will be retailing PER wheel...and im gonna need a MINIMUM order of 20 wheels i believe...a full set of 4 wheels will run 2000-2200 + shipping...i will get final pricing if this is something that you guys seriously want THIS IS A MULTI-CHOICE ANSWER SURVEY!!! PLEASE MARK AS MANY AS YOU WOULD LIKE!!! |

worth the $$$ for the real track guys. super strong and light weight wheels. i have always wanted a set, but for the cash, how many hotwheels could someone buy?
17x9 +5 18x10 +10 but i voted no as i know for now i don't have the $$$ to order these. gl if you go through with this.

see what i dont understand is that these wheels are just as good as TE37s...but people wouldnt want to spend a little less ona product thats just as good???
btw guys...lowest i would be able to go is $480 + shipping a wheel i could do $408 + shipping a wheel on the P1 racing 2s (which arent forged and are slightly heavier...those wheels specs are 17x9 +15 5x114.3) |

comparing the 2 wheels...
both are forged and very light weight...i cant find an exact weight on the TE37s...but im sure the QF is VERY close to it...if not the same Volk TE37 - 17x9 +15 5x114.3 - $665.99 + shipping Buddy Club P1 QF Forged - 17x9 +5 5x114.3 - $480.00 + shipping (from me only) |

well given buddy club is an OE manufacturer of its own wheels...im sure theyre just as a strong as the volk TE37s are
i dunno if youve ever used any of buddy clubs parts...but their shit ALWAYS receives awesome reviews...the quality of their coilovers and their catbacks are awesome...i personally LOVE my racing spec dampers and spec3 catback on my 240 that i got from them...and im SURE their wheels are just as up to par as ANY other major japanese manufacturers on the market (like volk and work and advan) vaughn gitten from formula D ran buddy clubs racing spec dampers in his personal S13 after buddy club asked him to...his reviews were nothing but positive...he also mentioned how smooth they were |

whoops, my mistake. The old P1 Racings were made by Kosei, or they shared the design or something like that....here is a pic of the old P1's..
http://www.buddyclub.com.au/2007/p1r/p1r_content.html The wheels you pictured are the P1 Racing SF |

Ah check again guys Kosei and Buddy club are from the same wheel manufacture and the Kosei are lightweight forged as well. They are the same wheel. Sorry but its true Socal240sx.org did a big group buy on them years ago for Gun Metal ones back when 16in's were the shit. Same company end of story.

Thats kinda expensive. I used to work there and I know for a fact that we diddnt have any offfsets in stock that would be good for 240. Since Ive been gone that could have changed but I doubt it. So if you do have to "special order" those it will be more and you have to wait for the next container. But good luck they are pretty dope wheels if you want some crazy light shit order the QF. those cost more but come in doper offsets
