Tires look good..what kind?They are Falken Ziex ZE-512. They are supposed to be a good all-season performance tire. Consumer Reports rated them #1 in their class and there are about 6 or 7 reviews for them on epinions.com, and those were all very positive. I got the wheels in 16" and the tires are 205/50R16.

I was thinking about getting the 5zigen rims too, but they just don't offer a good offset for it to flush with the fenders. Good tires though :D

Yeah, a 42mm offset is going to set them in a little, but if it bugs me too much, I could always buy shims/spacers I guess.

Those Fighter wheels are nice.Thanks...I can't wait to get them. The thing that really impressed me with those wheels (besides the price) was the weight. The 16"X7"s are only 15.5 lbs.

I have those tires.. and 5zigen rims. I think mine are those tires.Are you happy with them? I live in PA, so I needed all-season. We do get snow here. Even more important in my book, is wet performance. I hate driving in the rain with tires that don't handle it well. It scares me. The Falkens are supposed to be great in the rain. We'll see.

CACK.. let me make sure they're the same tire before I burst your bubble. Let me go check where I stored them for the winter :( :(

Matt... bad news dude. They might be rated M&S, but I'd never run them. To be fair I'm lowered without an alignment.. maybe there's hope. But I would spin in the rain everytime I took off from a stop if I was turning. So, I didn't feel they were safe for the snow.

Hmmm....I hope I have better luck with mine. I read a lot of reviews from people who seem to be real happy with them. I guess I'll just have to try them and see. I'm not lowered at all, so maybe that will help.
