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.

      Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
