Look at 360Forged for instance.... they cost $4K+ for wheels and aren't any better than a set of Vossen wheels sold for $2.4K or a set of Forgestars for $1.5K... Unless making your wallet lighter and thus reducing the weight in your car, allowing you to accelerate and decelerate quicker, all while maneuvering corners at higher speeds, makes them better. Then yes, they are better!

I'm only speaking structurally on the forgestars.. their customer service is nearly as bad as 360Forged
And to their credit.. Forgestar eventually ships.. 360Forged however has a record of not even shipping.. so I guess the 4k for wheels that never show is worse than 1.5k for wheels that show but just 6 months late... and with 360 forged they have a record of shipping orders that were place as 19x9.5 & 19x10.5 but instead ship 18X8.5 and 18x10.5 while so far forgestar did eventually ship the correct sizes... My point being that crap comes in expensive prices and cheap prices and that just because one is more expensive it doesn't mean it's any better. I'll take Volk or Vossen for the $2k-4k price range over the $4k-6k range for 360Forged and have just as good a wheel

Try actually reading the comparison reviews. On the C&D test, it outperformed the PS2's, which are almost twice the price, on almost every category; on the only few parts it didn't surpass the PS2's, it practically matched it. ... but that's fine. It's your money. But try to do some research before spreading false information |

Anymore owner experiences? As long as the Hankooks are meet or exceed the stock tires, I don't mind getting them. Is the Ventus V12 is quieter than the stock tires?
Heck, I've not ordered the tires yet... not till I'm certain about the fate of my stock Sport wheels.

I've got about 2k miles on mine.
My impressions: dry Grip - at least as good as stock, might be a tiny bit more sidewall flex, but overall I am happy with the traction. wet confidence - definitely better than stock in the rain, I feel a lot more confident on these tires Noise - after putting my stock wheels/tires back on for a few days since I am getting my wheels powdercoated, I gotta say that the stock are quite a bit louder than the V12's Overall - will definitely buy again, fantastic tire for the $$
