Did I receive real Buddy Club QF's ?

I recently picked up a set of 17x9 +28 gunmetal Buddy Club P1 QF's. Lately, I noticed for the first time that the pics on the BC site show the QF's with a somewhat large sticker on the lip of the wheel. Mine don't have this sticker and now I am worried since they are all mounted up ready to go. Of course I am calling Buddy Club tomorrow but if any of you know for sure I would really appreciate the info. Thanks

I've seen some authentic buddy club wheels not having the stickers around the lip but to be sure you should post up some pictures.

Called BC this morning and they said that I most likely have the QF's because of the deeper lug well and wider lip as opposed to the SF's. The links to the specs for both wheels are not working for me so I don't even know if they make the SF's in 17x9 +28.
On top of this, I cant find the weight of my 255/40 17 NT01's which I could use to determine the weight of the rims minus the balance weights. So if anyone knows that do tell.

Nope, they're not real. Tell you what, though, I'll take those cheap knockoffs off your hands for a reasonable sum.

Haha, real funny. At least I found out that the tires, according to Nitto through a dealer, weigh in at 26.5 lbs. So I'll weigh the combo tonight and put an end to this confusion.

how much space brake/rim clearance is there? I was considering the 18x9 +35 but didn't want to have to run major spacers.

Brake/rim clearance is good at around 3mm just eyeballing the fronts (maybe a bit more). I think this is the only offset that fits the evo with no spacers up front. They look sick, I'll get pics up soon.

Expect the pics sometime next week in show n shine. Its on jack stands at the moment so don't hold your breath. I've been struggling to find the time to finish it so bear with me, it's not just new rims.

I know if you get a set of Work wheels they come with stickers to allow the owner to put on as they please. Maybe Buddy Club forgot to give you stickers.
