Phil Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) There was a matching thread title for "Buddy Club early forged" search on toyotagtturbo.com:http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?103745-Buddy-club-p1-s-early-forged.-16x7j-4x100There was confusion arround size but the buyer seems to be you Phil. Nope he wouldnt shift on price. (and they are white) found these on a civic local to me and bought a boost controller of the fella also. http://reallymeansounds.com/forum/threads/buddy-club-p1-alloys.151863/ this is them as i bought them and then sticking the fresh rubber on PS this is just me defending the idea that i am being in an way untruthful here. I definitely didnt buy those wheels off tgtt (maybe Tobz did?) and i know the fella (jonny on RMS) that i got my wheels off. Maybe the toyotagtturbo thread did lead me to believe that the early flat fronted P1s are forged, i cant mind where i got that idea from.

Phil Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) PS i will leave this thread open (not sure i even have the option to close a thread on here?) just so that this can play out whatever way it needs to without anyone thinking im trying to hide or con anyone. obviously with my decision to fix my GT and not sell up to by Tanvers AW11 Mr2 i wont be selling these as ill be using them on my car. Ive also changed the price to save anybody getting any wrong ideas and trying to buy. Phil Edited October 23, 2014 by Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I don't get what the drama is?? forged or not they are a good set of wheels from a well known company with a very good reputation for making quality parts it's not like your trying to sell a set of grids as rays lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 I don't get what the drama is?? forged or not they are a good set of wheels from a well known company with a very good reputation for making quality parts it's not like your trying to sell a set of grids as rays lol there is no real drama, and as mentioned with one bump in 2 months in a moments weakness(blast tanvers mk1 mr2) im not looking to sell anymore. But for fear that our hungarian friend feels cheated in his quest for the truth its worth allowing this thread to fill with whatever info in availible on these wheels. so anyways, Peter supercharger, where is the information that doesnt show these wheels as being forged but rather cast. also you referred to them as SF wheels, where are these referred to as SF as i thought that the SF was the new shape wheel?

Phil Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) That's what I ment dude y,s he so bothered about it ? oh that ive no idea about. but if the man has the desire to educated me regarding my wheels i more than welcome that sort of information. good to know what you've got.

Supercharged5 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 "Quest for the truth" that's good and it might sound funny but this is the case here! Phil was very nice in our communication and he was/is open to look into the truth with the versions of p1s. So Phil in my eyes you were very correct and I think you just picked up the wrong information about these wheels being forged at some point, thats all. I see no drama here, I hope you agree. BC wheels had no forged version untill the QF series came AFAIK. In fact those early P1s were manufactured by Kosei and were the same as cast Kosei K1.If I offended someone or some rules I am open to learn to do it better next time when I see wrong information a an FS thread.

Phil Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 thats pretty cool. will be able to look for Kosei centre caps in the future rather than just buddyclub ones to finish these wheels off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hahaha Yes as trisk mentionedWhat I never said at the time was that had these sold with tyres at the time I would probably have moved some more parts on and stuck this in the garage for a long time.But as things are it's full steam ahead.Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Lol fair play, I know a fair amount about the buddyclub range as I did my homework before running them myself...
