Hey guys.. i was looking at picking up some "15 Buddy Club P1 Racing SFs in Gunmetal for my '96 GSR. I was wanting to know some experiences and opinions concerning these wheels.



My current set-up is queer as folk, got the car with 16" Lexani Romas & shitty dry-rotted proxy 4s. So im hoping these 13.5 pound wheels will help me out with a few problems.

I'd also like to know a few suspension set-ups w/ these wheels - pics would be great. I know im asking for a lot but any help would be greatly appreciated

 

i had 15" gunmetal P1s on my 93 civic ex and loved them. not a very common wheel and they arent very expensive at all. they also are fairly light (much lighter than the 14" steelies that were on that car).

if i were going to buy wheels for my teg i would probably go with these.
what color is your car by the way? gunmetal usually looks really good on dark cars but i liked it on the milano red of my civic too.

 

I just painted my GSR Championship white.. and i've got a VIS CF hood.. i've seen a couple of CW 'tegs with them and i liked it.
I was going to go with the white ones, but i was afraid the white wouldn't match-up
I think they look really nice with the right size tires too, especially falkens

 

those wheels are undoubtly the best bang for the buck. I have the P1 racing plus and it upheld a shittt load of potholes and beatings and still looks great.

 

ya, ive seen em on a couple of tegs and they look pretty good. and ive heard they are not that expensive. as for suspension i suggest you go with ground controls + koni yellows, cheap yet sufficient set up.

 

I think they're pretty damn nice wheels, especially for the 500-550 price tag on em!

 

where do you buy those wheels? I like um! Do they come in 16?

 

I LOVE MINE. Here are some pics on my DC. They really lightened up the steering feel. One of my better purchases imo.


EDIT: We todd is down. ill post them when it comes back up.

 

i love mine eventhough they are 17's

 

those wheels are nice

koni/GC with those = teh win

i agree 100%, i have GC's w. KYB's but im changing to Koni yellows

 

Thanks for the help guys..
How much does the koni/GC set-up usually go for? And how much of a drop would i be looking at?

- i know theres probably a million threads about that, but my question is in regards to the BC wheels (how well the suspension set-up looks/feels with them)

 

i actually think i'm going to be buying these =P

 

Bump

you can lower them like up to 3 inches since the gc are coilover sleeves. The set up will loookkk sweeet, since they are coilovers. The way the perform. I heard really good since this is supposively the best set up under $1000. You can't go wrong with this set up. I'm guessing the koni/gc would run at 800-900 new since I've seen shocks go for ~500 and coilovers ~200-300

 

i have those in 15 and love them

 

picked mine up for 240 with tires. Although they are 17s they are still hot. If i were to buy new ones, ide go for 16s for sure.

 

wow.. i don't normally like 17s, but thoes look amazing

anymore pics or experiences, feel free to post
