Christmas has come early! I just got my Falken ZE-512's today. Looks like a very nice tire. I was wondering if anyone has had experience or heard good things about this tire. Ive heard they are very quiet and good wet/dry traction but a softer sidewall. I was gunna get the BFG G-Sports but these were a lil cheaper. Also, my rims are on the way. I will update when I get them and when they are mounted.

These are very good tires!! My step brother had a set on his eclispe and he couldnt hardly make them eat. They just grip and go, very good traction. Also im pretty sure that they will last a long time. Defiantly the best bang for your buck tire wise.IMO fing02.gif

OK!! Got them mounted and they LOOK HOT! So far so good. Ride is a lil more rough but not bad. Accel has suffered but the looks make up for it. I will get more pics when its light out.

Wheels look good, I think lowering it would look better.

I know I should have searched before I bought these....but I really need hubcentric rings. BAD!!! Does any one know where to get some. I have already emailed the dealer who sold me the rims. And www.justforwheels.com doesnt have my rim. Do any of yall have ideas? Maybe go to like Discount Tire and see if they can get some? I do not plan on driving on the rims, I am taking them off right after this.
