lee has them on his, so he would be a good guy to ask.

There ok to solve rubbing issues due to the narrow side wall. I would for wider sizes now as they seem a little narrow comparedto other manufacturers of the same width

Performance wise they seem to be an average all rounder, for the price that what you'd expect, but lack rear grip when the power is applied. If you dont do any track days then they will be fine. Fas also has these, he might have a different opinion.

I am running FK451's on mine and so far no problems. I had FK03's previously, in the dry they were great, in the wet they were shocking, but these seem to be pretty good in all weather conditions.

Though speak to Lee as well, as he has really given his car some stick so he'll be better able to describe what they're like under agressive driving conditions

[Big Lee]

thanks for the input guys!

i've just ordered some new wheels that i should pick up Monday (hopefully)

when they do I'll have them wrapped in Falkens!


:D:D:D:D

[BigFas]

which ones did you go for in the end? I know you've had a nightmare getting some :)

[Big Lee]

nightmare does not even cover it! :(

order one set that i told you about from a company i can't mention on here ;) which never arrived due to shipping problems.

then ordered some from a shop in essex - drove 80 miles to pick them up on the day they said they would be in - they forgot to order them!

and various other little problem with other sets in between.




As for these new ones, you e46 guys prob won't be impressed but you'll still have to wait untill next week! :D

Then I'll get some pics up!

[BigFas]

[Big Lee]
