What's the downlow on Falken Wheels?

I was just looking at wheels the other day, and saw some falken wheels that I liked. I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about falken rims, and how credible they are. I know falken makes tires as well, but i dont think ive seen a car yet that has falken wheels on it. Anyways thanks for all the time and help

i'm sure they're fine. there are a lot of mass-produced cheaper wheels out there, and i doubt an established company would put their name on a set of these cheap wheels unless they were relatively certain of the quality...

I have a couple friends who are sponsored by Falken.

They have 350Z's and their wheels look good on their cars.

I love Falken Tires, I'm sure the quality of their wheels would be good as well.

awesome thanks for the input. I just got the wheels about a day or 2 ago. and tried putting them on the car, and the spokes are touching the brake calipers. I figured it was most likely with the offset. The rims are et 35. Do they need a specific spacer size to fit the car? thanks

depending on the model rim, Falkens can be extremely light weight, and not to mention look very clean on a range of cars. i had a spare set of falkens with an older 240sx i had and used to drift with..and i have to say some very strong rims as well..

i had the same problem with rims that had 45 offset. i think it's more an issue with the design of the rim, since the rims i have now are 35 offset and work fine...
see how much space you need, you might have to get a 5mm or even 10mm spacer (or get another set of wheels like i had to do!)
