I am considering purchasing these rims and tires off a guy who has them brand new, but I can't seem to find any reviews on either the rims or tires. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this combination, or even each separately. Hes offering $2500 Canadian for them, so I just want to make sure im getting a good deal.

From what i know Falkens are good tires.... I have also heard that Axis are very good rims for the money. All being said, it is about whether or not you like tham and are comftorable with the price. Im not sure what that translates to in USD... I do think those would look good on a 3g TL... do you have the 5AT or 6MT? Although with 45 offset I think they will fit both...

 

Yea im not sure yet either. I have an '05 NBP AT. Im going to check these out later tonight and see how they look. I like the outer design, but the spokes are kind of strange. I guess ill have to find out later tonight.

 

I kind of like the spokes with that little groove in them... without the groove, i think the spokes would look too much like the same shape as the Stocks.....

I like the rubber onthose tires too.... good looking tread pattern.. ( i know that doesnt matter but i think its cool)

 

Yes thats very true. But im a fan of the polished edges witht he bolts all around. Plus there is a centercap that has the same bolt pattern around the edge, and thats a nice finishing touch. The only thing is, for the price, im getting a brand new set of performance tires and quality wheels, for a decent price and no waiting time. Its a tough call.

 

I know how you feel... I bought rims from another member here this pas Sat (shh noone knows) I did the great debate in my head for days trying to figure out what to do... oh, and convincung the wife too..... best of luck!! I truly hope you get what you want.... (when you do get them.. lol... post some pics.. Im curious to see how those look on a 3g...)

 

yo, you should go for these.....

 

Going to have to go take a look at these tomorrow (too busy tonight). Im hoping this guy wants to make a deal here, but im still unsure of how they will look. $2500 can buy a lot of other things (aspec suspension for one).

 

THose are pretty dam nice rims I think. Has a nice polish deep lip on it. Plus you can never go wrong with 5spoke rims with studs. Personally I think they would look good on our TL. I just ordered the Jaz Trinity (same as Axis Milanos) with FK451 tires. Those tires go for around $300 each. I say go for it if they are brand new.

Here is the link to tire review for FK-451's.

The review got 4.2 out of 5 which is pretty good score.

Can't you get one put on to see how it will look. Those looks nice dude!!! First one I have seen on a TL.

 

Well I didnt have time to drive down to the guy's house tonight to see what it will look like, but hopefully tomorrow ill get a chance to see what it looks like on my car when I drop by.

I forgot to tell you I ordered my rims late Jan06 and still waiting for them to arrive. So if you can get your hands on them now..I go for it.


Say take some pics when you get them put on. Would look hot I bet.

 

Yea the guy lives on the exact opposite side of the city, about as far away as I can get, but the plus is if I want them, I just have to drive over and get them, no shipping time.

 

So did you get these wheels yet??

 

Personally, I have the Faulkens Azenis ST-115's and the Falkens definitely have a softer sidewall than I like. Tire wear has been about 22k normal driving miles.

 

Thought about and took a good look at them, but they just are not my taste. One hell of a deal, but just not right for me. Dont think im going to go ahead with the deal, although if they were powder coated black or gunmetal, I wouldnt wait a second.

 

i think colt stole my tires......jks. nice set up. clean and the tires, well u cant go wrong with those
