hey guys
im thinking out getting these rims shiped from vic to sa from wheelking
the price they have with the falken tyres (the 1680 with tyres set) is the cheapest ive found
Wheels
now im just wondering what peoples experiences in the past have been with them

**sganro** · 30-10-2007, 07:57 AM

For 18's with falkens, $1680 is pretty good. I got quoted $2200 at a number of shops for packages with falkens.

They seem pretty decent and i would be more likey to buy from a shop like them that have been in business for years then someone dodgy on ebay or something like that.

Wheel King are excellent, customer service is great.

**hsvpunk** · 30-10-2007, 08:35 AM

myself and wagon wheel, were looking around for prices the other day, and wheel king was cheapest going for a certain wheel.

Just make sure the 91's meet the required load rating.......can't be stuffed checking what you should have

don't buy rims that aren't approved to the Australian Standards. there have been cases of cheap imported rims collapsing. obviously that's a very bad thing if they're on your car.

judging by comments of others these sound good.

**VZTHUNDER** · 30-10-2007, 09:04 PM

70 buks fright.... when he said that im like.. per wheel right?
hes like nope.. for the set
the 91W are fine.. the ssz has the exact same tyre except in a firestone

The rims look good but as a friendly bit of advice, avoid the Falken tyres. I've read a few people on the other forum had problems. I just got rid of my Falken ZE326 and It's like a new car. The Falkens were noisey and tracked all over the road even when new. The worst part of all at 25,000k's they had completely lost their shape. All 4 of them! I see they offer Hankook for the same price. Might be a better option.

**VZTHUNDER** · 30-10-2007, 10:49 PM

ok thanks mate
always thought falken were allright

ill look into it

**1991_Vn2nV** · 30-10-2007, 11:00 PM

Actually you need a load rating of 95 minimum mate.

Stock your car came with P205/65 R15 95H, H being speed rating, 95 load rating I believe. Go the hankooks.

**VZTHUNDER** · 30-10-2007, 11:03 PM

oh ok
thanks for that mate. learn something new every day

**wrx884** · 30-10-2007, 11:18 PM

the hankooks r a better tyre than the falkens neways 4 the exact same reason scooter said these also have a tendacy 4 the belts 2 seperate from the tyre thats y they loose their shape if it werent 4 that they would b a great tyre

**minux** · 31-10-2007, 07:21 AM

Buy the rims outright and put on real tyres, hankooks are as crap as Falkens. Some Highen SP's from dunlop or my new tyre of Choice F1 DS3's.

Dont pay for crap rubber, it isnt worth it.

**VZTHUNDER** · 31-10-2007, 09:02 AM

yeh
ill ring some wheel places in adelaide and get prices for tyres
Falken Passenger Tyres - FK452
just noticed wheel kind offer these for like 120 buks more

on the falken site it says that they are their flagship tyre

**Scooter79** · 31-10-2007, 12:43 PM

I'd still do anything to avoid the Falken's no matter what model they are. I read too many stories all with similar problems and then experienced it myself first hand.

**Troy711** · 31-10-2007, 04:26 PM

i had falkens on 18s before and they were like driving on ice when it was raining

4 the price they r above most but minux is right if ur gonna get nething spend the money on the P zeros if u dont wanna buy them outright

**VZTHUNDER** · 31-10-2007, 08:27 PM

i ordered em with the better falken tyres
all the online reviews im reading of em say they are great if your on a budjet

**wrx884** · 31-10-2007, 09:42 PM

there r no better falken tyres they all perform the same well all i can suggest with those make sure u check them weekly ne signs of vibrations or uneven wear change them

**VZTHUNDER** · 01-11-2007, 01:00 PM
