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.

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

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.

Check my sig and click on the VOTE FOR ME GIVE ME TENS button.

See pics of my car there.

Oh yeah, give me a ten while you are there.

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.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
