15" rim + tire combo recommendation?
Aight, 120K miles on original shocks, and my suspension is due for some major work. I drive a good 20K miles a year, and I need something that won't shred my tires, and something that isn't expensive - lots of abuse on my car.
I don't want to keep stock steelies because they are heavy and I'd like to shed a bunch of rim weight. I have been running falken Ziex-512s, anyone recommend something similar, but possibly available from tirerack?
Rims: I need mostly go, not so much show. I mean, I know thats counterintuitive on rims, but something like this:
Kosei K-1
Is Kosei an OK brand? I've heard most auto-x ers don't use expensive wheels as they get chewed up - what do they use? Any other brands at a similar price point with similar look I should look at?
Parts already bought:
SPC Camber Kits (F+R)
Eibach pro-kit springs
Will be bought (Subject to recommendations of you guys)
Tokico HP blues all around (Will I need new bushings for anything?)
Progress Rear sway with endlinks (03 lx sedan - do I need the mounting kit, I don't think I do)
Thanks in advance for help...

i have some Kosei RT Pentas that are 15" and i like them a lot. Its a lightweight brand so its not bad. Tokico HP blues are good too, and i dont think you need any new bushings, and i dont think u need a mounting kit for the sway.
