Buddy Club P1 Racing Wheels

Does anybody have any experience with Buddy Club wheels? I am curious if they are a good sturdy wheel or not and if they typically fit our Evos.

I am looking at getting these wheels:


Now, these are not the forged ones, because the forged cost about $600.00 However, I am wondering if the SF version is strong enough and doesnt weigh too much. I think they would probably look good on a WW Evo, but I couldnt find any pics.

Vendors and people who know about wheels, please chime in.

Thanks,
Nathan

I hear they are strong wheels.

I've seen the Original Runduce Evo use these for track.

ummm.......the p1 racing qf wheels are 13.6 pounds for a 17x8 rim. I think that puts it up there with one of the lightest if not the lightest in its class...

The QF version is that light. However, I am looking at getting the cast version, but I dont know how much they weigh. If you do, please let me know.

Thanks,
Nathan

if you plan on running 17x9 or 18x9 sizes, you will need 3mm spacers up front to clear brembo calipers
