What do you guys think?

Was wondering what you more knowledgable folks think about this wheel and tire combo. Keep in mind that these will be my daily drivers as well...

http://www.edgeracing.com/2003/Honda/Civic/bundle/154/

If the link doesnt work, they are-
-5zigen Fn01r-c (anodized Silver) in 15x7. They weigh 13.5 lbs.
-Falken Ziex Ze 512 Tires




With shipping and everything the package would come to a little over 800 dollars. Any and ALL feedback is appreciated regarding price, size, weight, etc.

The wheels would be going on my 03 coupe that has a progress rear sway, spc camber kit, eibach sportlines, tokico d specs, and neuspeed front strut bar. In case any of you were going to suggest buying anythign else first.

If you're racing... get stickier tires. If its your ONLY set of wheels, then its fine, but when you take it racing, you're gonna wish you had stickier ones. Can't go wrong with the wheels, but if you're looking to race on an all season, there's probably better ones (although more expensive).

I've ran 512's before, and did one or two autocrosses with them too.... um, ya... allseason tires should not be raced on. they have decent grip(for an allseason tire), scream like hell when you push them and if you get them hot you will chunk the shoulders.

They'll be good to learn on though as in, they will force you to be smooth.

Do you mean the ASX (allseason) or the MX (Ultra High Performance)?

Well would the ASX be any good on the track, or would the MX be any decent in wet conditions.

Do not take the ASXs on the track. I can bust em loose on the street. The MXs are good tires if you can get them hot. They do fine on the road, and they'll do fine in water, no snow.

Damnit all... I guess I will be getting a pair of strictly summer/autox tires and just putting some all seasons on my 17s.
