Falken Koblenz

Hey guys,
I am currently searching for a set of 19" rims for next spring/summer and Falken Koblenz has caught my attention! Does anyone have them on their Gs? If you do, can you please post:
1. comments on quality
2. offset, width, color
3. tire sizes
4. pictures of your ride
5. price range - some of you may be sensitive to pricing $$$, so a range would be great!
I did a search and noticed that "GoSooner" had them on his/her G but the pics links no longer works! I found several pictures on Edgeracing.com but I am not sure if they are 18s or 19s. I truly appreciate your help on this! Here are the links to Edgeracing pictures:

The black G on edgeracing is mine :-) They're 19s with 25 offset up front and 35 offset in the rear with a 15 mm H&R spacer. They're heavy wheels. If you're wanting to track/autox, I'd recommend something lighter like Volks or other forged wheels.

I like those wheels quite a bit. Too bad they're heavy!

GoSooners,

Thanks for your info! I am a frequent NYC driver who encounters tons of potholes. I dont think I will be racing my car (dont have enough $$$ to entertain such hobby). I would like to know if these rims will endure through pothole-filled roads without cracking? Does it help that they are heavy? Can you also give me a price range? Sorry for all these questions and dam your car looks nice!

CKYW

Coincidedly, I just bent up my front driver's side last weekend on a trip to TX. It was nothing major though. It was a pothole on the highway. I've checked my tire frequently since then and haven't lost any pressure. The damage isn't even that noticeable. My car is currently at the shop to get some repairs redone from an accident last summer and the shop is putting it on the estimate so I don't have to pay for it :-). From the estimate, looks like it'll cost $175 to fix it. If I were you, I might look at some Axis wheels...the Milanos? They're pretty strong cast wheels and the price for wheels and tires is in the Falken Koblenz range.

FYI: Edgeracing.com currently has a sale for Falken Koblenz
19x8.5 F $285 each.
19x9.5 R $325 each.
I am not a dealer, just providing information for those interested!

If someone has the time and the skills, can you please photoshop a Brilliant Silver G35C with 19" Falken Koblenz? Thanks!
