What do you mean chace? Do you mean change? If change, change rims with different PCD or the hub?

If it is the hub on your car,most easiest way change the whole hub with one that is the PCD that you want, from a different car model. Rims,..get those 8 holes,10 holes, free hole they say..But usually japanese rims come with one PCD only..Drilling another hole in rims,..yikesss....

In that case, the least hassle will be change the choice of rims and get the correct rims with correct PCD....
Drilling? Please don't.....:stupid:
Some car front hub needs modification if you fit the 8 or 10 holes rims, because they have a nut to hold the disc rotor blocking the rim. Either use a spacer or change the nut to a flat top one....

what do you guys think about P1 sport rims??? anyone is using it?? is it light weight? durability and issit pricey?

 

[ACQ2305]

Yeah,drilling..a big no no....seen some rims,..it is like the metal left after drilling a few more holes is like close to none existence..wonder if it is gonna hold ...400whp, racing slick tires..

Depending on what alloy material used. The hole should be reinforced, and tapper off to fit the lug nut. Drilling will weaken that area.
P1 rims? Do you mean Proton OE rims? OE are never or mostly not good stuffs.....

To me the rims are okay. If you are referring to looks, then it is personal and best is to match it to your ride. Some rims looks good by itself, but might not match the looks of the car.

 

[ACQ2305]

Yeah,you gotta at least fit it on the car and see if it match the look. Seen some rims,on shelf looks nice,but once on any car,..fail...
P1 looks a bit old.but still nice.
P2 refresh, but designs almost the same with those Advan RG's and SSR type C...Too many on the road..

 

[vr2turbo]

True also, but some people like the rims for what they are and some wants exclusive design...

P1 buddyclub is not that light due to most of it types come in great offset & wide.. but its is quite reliable the strength is one of the best.. but its hard to find a set with good price here since its one of those most wanted rims in malaysia.. that pic is not buddyclub P2.. that is P1 QF.. those are much more lighter that the old P1.. but its hard to find original japan in malaysia even used one.. most of it taiwan..
.. agreed with vr2turbo.. people like rims for what they are.. i have always like TE37 even though there is tons of replicas rolling otr oredi..

Popular, sure the 2nd hand price also more. My friend found a set of 14" rims he wanted, used for 2 weeks and then another friend offered him more to sell to him. Now my friend hunting for another set.....
