Buddy Club P1 Racing QF" on the 370z

mcheddadi · 04-16-2009, 05:04 PM

I've been wondering if 18x9 +35 all around could clear the 370z sport or the 370z base. It weights only about 14.8lbs and thats almost 10lbs less per wheel than the lightweight RAYS.
Plus, they aren't too expensive (600$ each) like some other carbon fiber or magnesium wheels.

what do you guys think? I think they look cool/competition like.

here's some pics of some that are gunmetal in color and have an awesome sparkling metal flake in the sunlight .

I think you would lose performance running a skinnier wheel in the rear if these are going on a sport pkg equipped 370Z. Otherwise that is a good idea.

Here's some more pics of the wheels on a race 350z

This is a full race setup right? You can fit much wider wheels all around. Don't even know if those will clear the sp brakes.

I like those wheels...id go with th 18x10 on the rear...and deal with the 2 extra pounds...but go with the 18x9 in the front...I seriously doubt it, but I wonder if there will be brake caliper clearance issues with the fronts on the sport pkg.

More comfortable than 19's + lighter = less unsprung rotating mass = better handling.
Wouldn't surprise me if with those you get half a sec faster 0-62mph.

Agreed. Anyone have them installed that can test/confirm this?

Yep, and more tire choice too.
