^ +1 the white on blue looks amazing.

Really digging the white on the Sebring too, might have to consider these also.

I've always been a tad iffy about the quality of Buddy Club stuff. What is the weight you found for these?

I like the RGD because they the are alittle more depth. The spokes on the buddy clubs are kinda flat and the RGD's are alittle ticker and more rounded. All things equal I would take the RGD's even thought they weight a tad more.

There are def much better looking wheels but if they are really that light then maybe would be worth it. But I'm a little skeptical of that weight. Get some and weigh them for us

^These really are good wheels. I've seen some stuff on the web saying there is a Buddy Club USA and Buddy Club Japan and the stuff out of Japan is good, it's their US stuff that's a bit junky.

My biggest grip is they don't make the wheels in a size I like better such as 17x9 +45ish I know they have a +35 but that's too aggressive for what I want to do.

Buy them used!!!! I am getting the SSR Comp's ( actually have 2 17x9's right now). However, they are rather fragile. Plus, I wanted to powdercoat them white. I am going to keep an eye open for the Buddy Club's too. The spokes seem to be slighly thinner. Do a nationwide search on Craigslist. I bumped someone's ad on here, who is selling them for $800!!!
