OK, so I finally made up my mind on the wheels I'm getting. MRR GT1 in 19" staggered in hyper silver. I had decided on getting Hankook tires but the shop I'm getting the wheels from had questions about them so I may be getting Falken 452s instead.
The guy at the shop is trying to talk me into taking the TPMS off my current wheels and installing them on the new ones to save a few bucks. I am going to sell my 123s and I thought it would be better to sell them complete, what do you guys think? Would you buy a set of wheels and tires without the TPMS?

What's the forums feelings on Falken 452s? Seems like a lot of people here use them. Are they happy with them? I'm pretty sure that the guy can get the Hankooks, but I think he was unsure of the model from what I understood.

I know, pics when they are installed. At least I hope someone wants to see pics.

Agree with PTL. Falkens are a great bang for the buck. I've heard the Hankook Ventus' aren't bad. I would recommend Falken 452 or Toyo Proxes T1-R over them though.

I'm a big fan of Toyo tires and my most recent wheel I am running are the General UHP's...they are cheap, grip well, and haven't worn very quickly....I'd look into those also since they are in the same price range

The 452s are butter. They ride great. Every Hancook I've ever owned has been too soft for me.
