Your comparison isn't accurate, eliminate the tire factor for now and just focus on the wheels

Vossen Wheels will run you around $2k
Volks/Works/Custom Forged wheels will run you anywhere between $3.5-5k if not more

Tires will then add anywhere between $600-$2k depending on your choice regardless of the wheel you choose

 

Not at all...a vendor here price me at exactly 3499$ for work gnosis gs4 wheels with tires mounted and balanced...

 

No it's pretty accurate...I'm not gettin rays g24's...but the work wheel I did price is 500 more than vossen...see my above post.

 

That's a good deal then, go for it

 

Also if you are going to spend that much on wheels.....Why wrap them in crappy tires?...
If you are going to do something nice, do it right.

 

500$ more is really not that much, and those tires are the ones the vendor recommended for me

 

Don't go with Falken is all I am saying. My buddy and I both bought a set at the same time. (I got 18s my friend got 20s.)

Worst purchase ever, the tread wears down way to fast. I don't remember what, but my friend also had some other major issue.

Go with something like a Hankook v12. I am using them for the first time and like them a lot so far. Its a better price than most tires, but so far reliable. My buddy's dad has tried three different brands of tires for his Jag, michelin,yokos, and Hankooks. He said the Hankooks have been the best by far. Which is making me lean toward getting them again.

Just my 2 cents.

I am sure others will give you more info one tires.

 

Depends on the application, I use Falken 452s because they stretch good and aren't as expensive if I have to replace one. For a regular setup I use Hankook v12s

 

Ive had no problems with my Falken 452's have 25,000 miles on them

 

Sorry but 452's are ****. Mine developed a bubble and one of my club members had a blow out because of a bubble on a 6 month old tire. I will NEVER buy another set. Only upside is they have a nice stretch and they dont cost much but you get what you pay for.

 

That was the other issue!! Thank you for reminding me. (Its been a few years) We BOTH got bubbles. Mine was small and toward the end of the (short) tire life.

My buddies happened within a few months on his truck.... and he had to get all new tires.

 

gotta pay to play. expensive wheels...get decent tires....protect those babies.

 

So recomend me a good tire to price from the vendor then everyone...

 

Toyo T1R if you can get ahold of them. I've run these tires on my old turbo eclipse/g35/g37. Quiet ride and lots of life out of all of mine. On my 5th set now and still no problems.

 

+1 on the Go For It factor!
