Default Any opinions on Falken GRB FK-451???
I am ordering some new wheels (Ace Lola 17's) today, and these tires were the ones the guy @SPP recommended. They're $122 a piece for the 225 40 (or 45, i can't remember)... Is this the way to go, or are there better tires for comparable price...

I love them, I think they are up there with the S0-3's and have a better treadwear too

Are these the Ace Lola II or the original Lolas?

Default Re: Just got mine put on...
They arrived mounted on my new 17' Oettinger RE's and so far so good! They seem to handle very well. Some guy at SSP recommended these tires as well, although I ordered the set from WheelsBoutique.com.

Default What'd you think of Wheel Boutique?
I'm thinking of ordering some wheels from them.

Default My experience w/ Wheels Boutique...
Sorry it took so long to write back. Wheels Boutique was good overall. I would use them again. They did screw up the Shipping Address (friends car shop) and sent them to my home address instead. I would suggest that you decide on the tires you want to go w/ your wheels b/c the Tire/Wheel Package they advertise in Euro Car Mag. is just alright. They tried to talk me into tires that were not as good as the Falken's for the same price. They will work w/ you a little bit on price though. Good Luck!
