All season tires and Replica Wheel question
 

I am curious if anyone is running the following tires on their GS AWD and if they like them?
Falken
Ziex ZE-612+

I have had the Michelins, Continentals, Kumhos and know how good these all are. I am looking for a good tire at a more reasonable price.
I am looking to upgrade the look of my 2007 GS 350 AWD from the factory 17 inch to the 18 inch set up with spider wheel oem REPLICA's. Any recommendation on this idea or set up? All in is around $1100 so I don't think I can beat the price for what is just a winter vehicle for us.

If anyone knows of a recommended replica wheel site they recommend or has 18 5 spokes with or without tires to sell, I would be interested to hear from you as I am not opposed to buying used.
Thank you in advance for any guidance.
