Buddy P1 weights

[grepin]

Can anyone tell me the weight of Buddy Club P1 wheels in 17x8 inch and if there is any difference up to the 18x8size. Does the P1 series 2 weigh the same.

Thanks

I would say the 18s are heavier simply because they are physically bigger than 17s.

They weigh SFA

I have them on my 34.

You can lift them over your head quite easily with one hand.

hmmm....i thought they are heavy as they are casted alloy wheels, not forged

Don't you hate that? The wheels makers tell you how wide they are, their diameter, the offset, the stud pattern, they even have pretty graphics so you can swap wheels on a picture of your car so you can see what they look like. But try and find out how much they weigh, don't hold your breath.

Can you imagine a lightweight flywheel manufacturer not telling you how much his "lightweight" flywheel weighs? But wheel manufacturers do it all the time and there are 4 of those (big flywheels) on your car.

I have a rule now, every time I go into a tyre shop I ask how much the "lightweight" wheels weigh. I never get an answer, maybe if we all do it they will get the hint and publish the weights like they do all the other specifications. :slap:

BTW, just because a wheel is forged doesn't necessarily mean it is lighter. The reality is a forged wheel of exactly the same dimensions will be heavier than a cast wheel with the same dimensions. The forged wheel will, of course, be stronger, but not necessarily lighter. Once again, published weights would help.

I didn't weight my P1s, but they are HEAPS lighter than my other Jap alloys - you can tell just by changing the wheels.

do p1's come in 18s? i know the p1 racing II's do, but i dont think P1s do. i just bought some p1 17s, should be able to tell you exactly the weight, soon.

I don't have the figures with me at the moment, but Buddy Club P1 QF are lighter then TE37 but only slightly and this is the same for 18's as well.

Sorry don't know about the P1 Racing II but I think they are not forged.

Agree with SK, forged doesn't mean they are the lightest...SSR Type C and GT2 are both lighter then P1 QF and TE37. They are SSF- semi solid forging.

P1s don't come in 18s

only P1 Racing IIs.

I weighed my 18x9s and they were around the 10kg mark.

The 18x8s were about half a kilo lighter.

What colour wheels are you using and on what colour car.

Do you have any pics of the car with these wheels.

Had a look. Needed to log in to vote. I would have given you an 8 however as I was expecting to see P2s like Ronin. Very nice car however. Needs more power.

My aim is to be on top of the list.

Help a guy out!
