Hi,

I just bought some 18'' Gunmetal Falken Torque wheels (The name might be a little off). I am not sure what you mean by good, but I do know that they look really nice on my anthracite TL. I live in Chicago and it has snowed here several times since I bought them. The salt doesn't seem to have affected them. I do hose them off once a week so I don't know if it's a fair judgement. I haven't rubbed at all and the metallic finish they use in their paint is pretty cool in my opinion. I think a fair assessment is: They are good wheels for the buck, but there are better out there if price isn't an issue.

My advice is: Buy what you want. No matter what, there will be some people who look down on your purchase and for whatever reason, feel as if they need to belittle you for it (even on these forums). If you like how the wheels look and it's in your price range, go for it. F*ck everyone else.

I share the same opinion. They are decent wheels, but you can do better.
Fuji; any pics? I would really like to see that combo. Thanks.

I would love to post pics. Once the weather gets nicer around here I'll take some. The one's with Zaino are going to have to wait until sometime in April so it's warm enough to put it on. Ok sorry for temporarily hijacking this thread. Back to business: check out www.edgeracing.com for some pretty good prices on Falken wheels (that's where I ordered mine from).

Fuji, is your car dropped and is it AT or MT? If it's MT, will it clear the Brembos? Isn't the offset around +38? There was someone on this site that had the Torque 5's on AM, looked real good and someone else had the Koblenz. BTW, Falken now has the Koblenz in Blk on Chrome. It's not on their site, but it is available.

Hey Fuji, any update on the pics? Interested in seeing what your car looks like with the gunmetal on anthracite combination
