To begin with yes I know these are the most played out rims ever... Ive liked em ever sicne they came out... But now everyother person has em, which is kinda why Im undecided if I should get em... Well yea so I have a chance to get these at a REALLY good price... They are gunmetal, which I would like... And they are 15, which I wanted to stick to since I was planning on doin some auto-x... Im wondering if I should fish out the extra $$$ for em... The thing is I have always wanted to run some Falken Azenis, however the winter here prevents me from doing so... Now if I buy these, Ill have 2 sets of rims :-D... Ill get them with tires real cheap and then ill add on the Azenis later on... Do you guys think its worth it? Or save my money and use em on a header?Oh yea I do plan on lowering my car as well, aiming towards the hotchkis springs...
Btw for those who dont knw what the tire looks like, heres a pic

IL i think gets a good amount of snow, but you may wanna try it!

Azenis rock! They do wear out a bit quicker than regular all-seasons, but they still last a long time, especially if you don't do a ton of hard driving.

I have yet to have a problem with them in the rain (I'm a fairly conservative driver when it's wet) but DO NOT try to use them in the snow. You WILL get in a wreck, period.

Hope this helps.

I drove a 200sx se-r with azenis and the handling rocked! Can't tell you how long the tires will last under normal driving conditions. Chicago snows ****! :(
