that's pretty decent :) Wonder what the weight of their 17x8.5 or 17x9.5 would be :)

17x8.5 +31 is 17lbs. 17x8.5 +49 is 16lbs.

17x9.5 +29 is 16.8lbs.

I think all SSR wheels are forged aluminum.

SSRs are mad JDM yo! Yeah, these are up there with Gram Lights/Volks/etc
 
The best size for track would be 17x7 or 17x8. That's why I didn't mention the 8.5" or 9.5" sizes. Lol. But they are still very light for those sizes.

maybe it is aluminum... whoa... idk lol

blox are forged aluminum lugs.. they're $100+ so makes sense $1000+/wheel :)

Most light weight wheels are forged aluminum. I just checked SSR's website and they are 'semi-solid forged' aluminum.
 
I'll rather have them bending than shattering. But it is more of a downside to any car with low profile tires wrapped on the wheels.

jrotax101 has SSRs on his E36.

45 isn't that low profile tho :)

i agree way safer if they were to bend then to fall apart! hahahaha

45 series is good enough. Lol. This is jrotax101 's E36 Track Car. He has the Type-Cs in 17x9. :drooling: If the wheels can take on numbers of racing events, I wouldn't be worried about it getting bent. Unless I hit a curb/pot hole of course where bending/shattering can happen to any wheel.

You are probably the second one I know who got a BuddyClub P1 that was bought for $200 or under. That is such a good deal. Those wheels go for ~$800-$1000 for a brand new set.
