i''ve got two rims in mind...

the Buddy Club P1 racing SF in 18"x7.5" 42mm offset

or

the Enkei EVO5 or 6 18"x7.5" 45mm offset



my question is though, has any buddy club users specificly with that rim had any problems with bending the wheels when hitting bumps or anything?

i'd like to sit on 40 series tires. i'll have some 10mm spacers on the back and probably some 5mm on the front. i know i'll have to adjust my speedo because of the wheel size aswell.

also, anyone have the EVO5 or 6's on thier box? i'd like to see them on there and if so, anyone know how much they weigh?

 

i've got 215/40/18 tires and havent had a problem with bent rims. been running those for about a year now.

 

how about rubbing and whatnot?

i'm going to be installing TEIN's SS-P coilovers. i don't expect to be lowering it anymore then what the automatic drop is *1.7 drop front, 1.6 drop rear* and i don't think i'll ever go lower then 2.5 drop on either side.

 

215/35's on 18 x 7.5 ... no problems ... rides great !

 

^^^^^I have the same setup with a +42 offset and i have no rubbing...needed OTG shims in the rear and the ride is pretty comfy

the evo5 & evo6 weigh around 21 lbs each before tires

I have the Enkei RZ-5 on my box...they're are similar to the Evo6 (but with 5 spokes and the spokes are closed not open) if you wanted to get a very general idea of what they look like<------link in my signature

 

how about the Buddy Club P1 racing SF's in 18"x7.5"? anyone know how much they weigh? seems it's not mentioned anywhere i look.

they have the 15" and 17" versions, but not the 18".
