Considering These Rims PLease LOOK

I am considering getting these 18" Falken Rims for the Evo
What do you guys think?
Anyone have these, anyone see them on an EVO?

Do you think they are going to be really heavy? Light? Know anything about Falken Rims?

how much are they? if they are cast wheels they will be on the heavy side
if u are going for looks just take them, but for performance the only way to go is forged wheels if u want to go 18"

Just found out they're 23lbs each
found pics of them on other cars

got a price from wheeldiscount for $949 with tires to the door......It just seems like a great bargain.

Found them on an IS300 look..

Are you sure these wheels will FIT? I thought none of the Falken rims were of proper size/offset to work

I'm not to sure, they're not really my style. But they are going on your car so whatever you want . I like to see the wheels on the car, they could look great... I don't know.

they're nice but at $2600, it's not worth it.

yeh, it's worth more new, but used, shouldn't be that high.

who needs the 3 piece forge when single forged rims that costs below $1000 does the job? (like rota, konig, speedy, etc)

must be for the "bling" thing.
