Default Don't think I ever posted the new wheels....

Got these at the beginning of summer.
5zigen 17x10 +12 all around
255/40 front 275/40 rear Falkin Azenis

CHEAP CHEAP setup and fairly aggressive and super light. I think it all cost me less than 1200. Wheels and tires were price matched at Discount Tire from the cheapest prices I found online. Azenis are the old version so got them for a steal. Wheels are 3 of the old version 1 of the hot version. NO difference at all as far as I have read. Discount Tire didn't know the difference so I found some clearance old versions online and said there's the price lol.

Autoxed a few times on these and they handle really well. Nice 20mm stagger in tires is quite neutral. A bit of under stear when I push it and the Azenies are decent. Slippery when cold, as well as when too warm, but when they are in the middle they are very nice.

I got some 5mm spacers im going to throw on the rear when I get a chance, but might have to go with 10mm. We'll see.

No rubbing issues under heavy cornering up front. Anything wider up front and im certain it would with the +12

Anyways on to the pics. Any questions just ask.



Concave.





Bonus.


Hello


Past wheels.

Tell me about it. Notice all the pics are from the driver side lol. The rear pass side wheel is black with polish lip. Waiting on the 4th bronze wheel to come in from 5zigen. Got screwed around from Discount Tire. Told me they had all 4, then they could only find 3 in one color so I had to order a 4th from 5zigen. Then 60 days later no word. Come to find out no one ordered it. Supposed to be here this month. We'll see. I have a sneaking suspision it's never going to come and im going to have to get NASTY with Discount Tire.

Welcome to the club

Ive been thinking 10mm in the rear for a flusher look. The fronts stick out just right.

Was about to order those from DTD as well, really wanted some 17s but couldn't pass on a deal on 18 rpf1s. Looking good on the bronze.
