Falken Zeix ZE-512 review, new wheels tires on project coupe!
Wheels: 90-93 Integra 14 inch alloys
Tires: Falken Zeix ZE-512
Well today I picked up my wheels from Jim @ J&S Polishing here in Colorado Springs then my tires where waiting for me at Discount tire so I stop there to get them mounted and balanced.
Price Breakdown
Wheels: $80 (picked up from my boy Ron!)
Tires: $350 (included mounting, balancing, and warranty)
Polishing: $160 (Thanks Jim!)
Total: $590
I'm happy with the final product. After the first test drive you can tell that the stock wheels and tires needed to go. At first it felt like I had power steering in the car cause the steering wheel was alot easier to turn! When on the road you can defintaly feel the difference, alot smoother response when driving also the old wheel/tire combo had loud road noise when drving, with this new setup you cant even tell that I'm drving. Overall a upgrade that was long over due. Only 2 of the old tires matched and they where in the back an the front two tires where bald!
Final Product

whats the point in two posts, and you could have got rotas, something which look decent for that price</TD></TR></TABLE>
Should I combine the post in just one forum? (mods), I didnt want to post to many pics in this forum... my bad
As far as getting rotas they are nice wheels but would have cost more overall, I just wanted a cheap setup with some decent all season tires.
