Default Buddy Club SF rims.....What's your take on them?

Are the SF the exact same design as the QF rims? My impression is that the QF is a bit more flat. Maybe i'm wrong?

What's your take on them?

Compare pics, they are obviously not the exact same design. Very close, but yeah, the qf is a bit flatter. I like the look of the sf better, and it is a pretty good deal.

You are so right. I thought they were the same but at closer look, the SF sticks out a lot more while the QF has flatter design. I was going to get the SF becuase i thought they were the same design as the QF but they aren't.

The QF's are freaken awesome. If money were no object, i would get those. But i'll probably end up getting some Konig or Rota rims.

I just got a set of the 16" SF Buddy Clubs for 525.00 shipped. I would think that those would be at least slightly better quality than Rotas or Koenigs, not to mention made in Japan and there Buddy Club, more Honda racing heritage points. I think they look pretty nice too. If you are hell bent on Rotas, I can shoot you a link where I see em for $440.00 for the 16" Circuit 8.

Well, the Slipstreams weigh 1.8lbs less. Maybe that matters to people. The Circuit 8's weigh 1.6 lbs less than the SF. Plus, i think some people just think some Rotas look better.

The SF wheel is the Cast Version of the QF wheel. It is the same design, yet casted differently, not forged, and much cheaper.

Not all Buddy Club products are not made in Japan, just to let you know.

wrong on the weight of the sf's. they weigh 10.1 lbs (15x6.5)...pretty much the lightest you can get save for the rpf1/ce28n.

SF wheel weights are typically same weight to size/diameter ratio. They are about 1lb per inch in diameter.

So the 15" wheel weighs about 15lbs.
The QF (forged) wheel is about 5-6 lbs lighter than the diameter size, so your average QF 15" wheel will weigh in at about 9-10lbs. (depending on width and offsets)
The II Plus wheels weigh in at about 3-4 lbs heavier than the diameter size. so your average 15" II Plus wheel, will come in around 18-19lbs.
