I can understand your frustration. You might want to re-think your attitude though. Post like that aren't going to make you any friends around here. By the time you do have 50 posts, nobody will want to converse with you anyway.

i had a set of falken torque 5 wheels on my srt-4, above 65 mph they shook the car and stopped shaking the car above 140mph. had them balanced twice and they still shook so i sold them. im not sure if it was the wheels or the tires that i had that made the car shake but it really ____ed me off. hope that helps.

I have a set of Falken wheels and tires and I am pleased with them. They are definitly put together better then my wifes Fondmetals on her car and she paid more. So I believe it has nothing to do with the price.

yeah...i got a set almost a year ago...still rockin 'em. inexpensive and i like the look...a bit on the heavy side though. but, i'm not a racer anyways...i just like to roll proud.

i like them...there are tons of other wheel options...but i haven't had a reason yet to get rid of these.

Falken is going to be expensive, hence they are a very good tire. Also depends on what type of wheel your going with, if it's a tuner or gun metal type go with a Toyo in my opinion.

I just ordered a set of Falken tires with my rims but it just depends on how much your looking to spend.

The rides i know of with Falken tires ride smooth(minus the potholes)

Hope that helps.good luck
