Nah they are the same DPE's I got almost a year ago. Just had them sitting around and decided to clean them up and put them back on.

Yeah would be sick to get a photoshoot together. Red Z Red G

It's time for tires, I have belts showing. Anyone care to weigh in on my personal debate: Falken FK452 vs Toyo T1R.

I'm only replacing rears. Wheels are 19x10.5. Currently I have 275/30 Toyo T1Rs. I want a more aggressive stretch so I'm thinking 255/35, in either FK452 or more T1R.

I have been happy with the Toyos but they are considerably more expensive than the Falkens. Treadwear, Tire integrity and road noise are my biggest concerns. Can anyone comment from experience on both tires? My fear with the Falkens is lots of people complained of sidewall bubbling. Which is going to show a greater stretch? Toyo doesn't have tread width listed on their site.

255/35 isn't very aggressive compared to some, but I don't want any possibility of it not fitting or not holding air. Any input appreciated...

i just took off my set up this weekend. i was running falken fk452 in front and toyo t1s in rear. I had the toyo in 255/35/19 and it was a very conservitive stretch on my 10.5 rear. tread wear, and road noise def goes to the falken. they were quiet until almost bald.

Nice, I spy Toby's rims and neo chro lugs. The wheels/lugs combo look nice, I bought those too. I always wondered what they would look on magnetic black.

I'm sure it'll turn out great though. I just saw you were looking to trade for mercury silver volks. I was a little confused when I saw your post, but I just understood what was going on. Good luck deciding.
