yeah, the 19" package is only $1259! That's why I'm thinkin that the wheels must be crap. I know they look tight, but I want to get a wheel that's not gonna crack when I hit my first pothole!

I don't think he had any complaints when we were talking about them. I would of bought them for mine , but I just found out they were making wheels. I had a set of tires from Falken on my honda and they were awsomes, so I think the wheels are a safe bet. Besides if you hit a pot hole hard enough to crack a wheel, the wheel is probably gioing to be the least of your problems. If I talk to the guy again soon, I will ask him about the quality of them.

Falken wheels are really good rims, I was wanting a set from the wheel shop back in Tn, but for chrome 19's they wanted $3000, so I said screw that. We went with 18 inch enkei's on my girlfriend's focus before we sold everything off of it.

I say go for them at that price, those wheels look really good.
If you don't mind me asking where did you find them for that price?

Both of the newcomers to the wheel world, PIAA and Falken, are of good quality.
