Buddy Club Wheels on S197

[joeymustang]

So, as many of you guys here, I play Forza on my Xbox. One of the combinations I liked on my car were the Buddy Club P1 18 inch wheels because they are a different 6 spoke wheel and also they are super light (16 lbs).

This is hoy my car looked like with the FR500...

...and this is how it looked like with Shelby Razors

I seriously wanted something different as to what everybody was using, and a friend had the Buddy Club in his house collecting dust and I told him "Why dont we see how they look on my car?". I mean, if I liked how it looked on forza, why not on real life, right?!

This was the end result:

what a difference!!! The car took a turn into the "race ready" feel and I love it. Also, this wheels weight almost 15lbs less than the fr500's and Shelby Razors and you definetly notice it on acceleration and braking.

Just wanted to show you another setup in our S197. Oh and yes, the wheels are made in Japan

Needs to be a little lower, that's a lot of sidewall too. Otherwise, they do look really good.

Not everyone wants "hella flush"

I like how they're not your everyday mustang wheels but...I'm not feeling them too much. As long as your happy with them is what matter tho. Congrats man!

lol...true I do like the way the tire sits on the wheel, I'm not into the having a straight up tire.


I cant lower my car more because as it sits the downpipe hits on speed bumps. But I do wish it could be lower

Yeah.....we're not 240 owners....don't know where that came from, I guess all people who own 240sx's drop their car?

Needs to be lower if you ask me but I did own a Nissan before, I guess thats why I feel that way. Or.... maybe I just like that look, yep, thats it.

You must not have read his thread...

Yeah I dig them. 15lbs makes a difference all around I am sure. Congrats!

Nope, I did. Read your comment too.

Then you clearly lack reading comprehension

Pretty cool.
I didnt even know they made Buddy Clubs that big, I usually see them in 15"

How wide are they?

If you like the hellaflush look I think you should be on fire in a dumpster somewhere.

Sorry, didn't mean to piss off the trolls. Tilt you can go back under your bridge.

they are 18x8.5 +35mm

Buddy Club does have them in 18x9.5 but like I said this was something that was collecting dust in a friends house and for $350 bucks I'll settle for the 8.5 lol...for now

For 350 bucks that's a good deal.

I like it a lot op
It's to bad you can't lower it anymore that would be
But then again I'm the kinda guy who puts flush wheels on his mustangs ran xxr 522s on my 2011.
And i'm about to switch from brembos to 17x9" 25mm offset white rota grids wrapped in 275/40/17 nitto nt05s
Which considering the fact my car is now lowered 2.4" in back and 1.7" in front using tein s-tech springs, cut bump stops&eibach pro series shocks/struts w/gt500 upper strut mounts. Should look pretty sick

u got pics of the 2011 with the xxr? I've got a friend with a '08 bullit with those rota and it looks sick honestly, loved the look

I wish I could lower it, but the streets over here are hell and this is my DD so...

 

[RedMosesSC]

Looks good but i like the FR500's best.

What kind of downpipe are you talking about? If something hits when it's sitting that high off the ground something is wrong. I have pipes running under my a-arms and my front wheels almost tuck and nothing rubs.
