My new wheels!!! Buddy Club SF Challenge

***DjChieNa*** · 06-19-2008, 10:43 AM

[rant] So i've been holding out to buy some used volks since the beginning of this year. So nothing pops up and I did not want to wait for special orders from japan because by the time i receive them, season is over and i would have to revert back to winter wheels. Anyway, Adam from Z1 Auto referred me to these assuring me that I would like them. I was hesitant at first but i really wanted some new wheels. At the price of these, they're worth a try and I will upgrade next season. After buying them, a thread pops up for a set of CE28s that I wanted but now i can't buy them since i just paid for some wheels.

[/rant]

Anyway, here they are. No tires yet but will be on Azenis 235/40/18 when I order them this weekend! Thanks to Z1 and Adam for these! I will remove that blue sticker on the spoke.

18x8.5" 5x114.3 +40 offset 21lbs

Test fit:

These will hold them in place:

Nice, you don't see many Subies running Buddy Clubs, although those are heavier than I thought they'd be.

***DjChieNa*** · 06-19-2008, 10:47 AM

The weight is not bad considering they feel lighter than the stock bbs when i picked both up for a comparison. On top of that, the buddy clubs are larger.

^^Very true.

Oh trust me, I waited for something to pop up in the classifieds. These kinds of untimely events happen to me all the time; the moment I buy/look something new or used after waiting for months, the same item pops up a few days later at a better price. I even called myself out after buying these, a set of volks will appear. Lo and behold, it happens

I will be upgrading next year to a set of nicer forged rims so i guess these will be fine for now

MGizzle · 06-19-2008, 06:40 PM

Dude, I love those rims, the red is alright.....but 21 lbs!!!!

XxSCAxX · 06-19-2008, 07:06 PM

oh btw i like the lugs...they look familiar!

Bet on Grey · 06-19-2008, 07:24 PM

Those wheels and lugs are sick.

Igetitpoppin · 06-19-2008, 07:39 PM

Buddy Club?

I actually like the them alot good choice

**Z1 Performance** · 06-20-2008, 07:44 AM

Thanks again, and enjoy em!

Given the price that these go for (under $1000, shipped for the set), and the size, the weight is more than reasonable

RFFG · 06-20-2008, 07:54 AM

Those are nice

spazegun2213 · 06-20-2008, 08:19 AM
