Wheels, What do you think about these?

http://www.autoimaging.com/shop/inde...167145&cat=74&

Buddy Club P1 Racing QF 17x9 5x114.3 +28mm or +35mm offset 14.44 - 14.48lbs each. In gunmetal.

Would the +28 work good all the way around? Or should I just go +35mm all around.... I dont plan on full coilovers for a long time.

Roly · 05-02-2003, 09:17 PM

Either one will work fine... the 28's will be more flush, but out of personal taste, I like the Racing II.

Red · 05-02-2003, 09:49 PM

I also like the Racing II alot..... But I will need to mail them to see if they are just as light weight.

PARAD0X · 05-02-2003, 10:39 PM

whats the prices on those wheels. i can't seem to find it on the page

andrave · 05-02-2003, 11:18 PM

I love those! there are pics of an s13 coupe with 16 inch P1 racing rims on it in the may 2002 issue of SCC...
I really like them.

FRpilot · 05-03-2003, 01:51 AM

looks good.. and lightweight.. go for it.

Dousan_PG · 05-03-2003, 01:54 AM

i can tell you right now
1) they are expensive (dont forget shipping costs from japan and to your home-but email autoimaging for details)

2) go +28 for SUPER FLUSH (will require some negative camber, probably er...-2 degrees?

R33 GTR are 17x9 +30

if you dont want camber, go +38
more sunken in but not a whole lot

watch your tire sizes!

DRIFTING_SIL_EIGHTY · 05-03-2003, 02:08 AM

hey dousan i sent you mail. jus womdering if you got it yet ?

ryan hagen · 05-03-2003, 05:28 AM

i emailed autoimageing like 5 times on the p-1 racing and they never send me prices, post if they reply to you what the prices are.

Kookaburraz · 05-03-2003, 09:10 AM

The QF is a MUCH more expensive wheel, I believe it is forged. Wheels, tires and shipping, you're probably looking at about $2500.

Dousan_PG · 05-03-2003, 11:27 AM

drifting...yeah i just replied

ryan hagen: i highly suggest calling them, they have always been helpful to me the few times i spoke with them! if you get a price quote, be sure to get the guy u talked w/ (his name) and note it with the time and date, incase the price changes!

scandalcat1 · 05-03-2003, 08:17 PM

Tight, well the bronze colored ones are at least

kandyflip445 · 05-03-2003, 09:57 PM

You should PM Tnord. He has the exact same rims except they are Kosei(just rebadged). If you don't mind getting white ones Kosei sells them for much less. Also, I think it would be possible to just sandblast the white of and get it powder-coated another color if you want. Just call up tirerack.com and ask if that is a good alternative. Their toll-free # is 1-888-981-3957. My mag says that their hours are M-F 8-8 and Sat 9-4.

uiuc240 · 05-03-2003, 10:12 PM

he's talking about the 2nd ones on the page...the QFs. Kosei does not have a copy of those.
