Konig Helium + Falken RT-615s installed (Pics!)

205/50/15 Falken RT-615, 15x6.5 Konig Heliums 40mm offset, aluminum hub-centric rings from Discount Tire, Autozone "tuner" locking lugs. THE OEM LUGS DO NOT FIT IN THESE WHEELS. I annoyingly discovered that when I first tried to put them on

I love the look of the combo, but now I realize how badly the car needs to be lowered a little bit. Oh well, in due time.

The tires are definitely a lot stickier, but still have that "break in squirm". On the highway with the steering wheel centered they seem to float a little. I'm sure that will go away in the first 100 miles or so. Also, I know the tires are asymmetrical, but they also look like they're directional. On each side of the car the outermost treads are "pointing" in different directions, even though both sides have the "outside" label facing out. The tires don't have any directional arrows on them. Any ideas?

Also, can anyone recommend a good F/R tire pressure? Falken told me I should run 31 psi all around, 33 psi for highway driving. Those numbers seem really low to me. I've heard autoxers running 38 front, 40ish rear.

If anyone has any questions fire away!
