Wait, you don't have a job but want to spend hundreds on wheels? Wtf man. Get your priorities straight.

Start the new job, move out, then save for wheels.

you're poor.

just rock stock.
thats what poor people do.
they rock stock until they can afford "baller" wheels.

Dont spend money just because, you noob!


I'm 26 and still have stock wheels.
you know why?
BECAUSE I CANT AFFORD BALLER ASS WHEELS!

he's got it down:

he likes a girl that wants to hit up the car shows. she doesn't wanna hit up the car shows with him with his banged up oem wheels. must get new wheels...any new wheels to save relationship.

sand down and repaint the oems for cheap.
OR
get a new girl. not new rims.

Hey OP it's your car your decisions, if they hate then let them hate, you build your for you not for someone else. Personally I don't think the vette wheels look too bad but if you can pull off a good look then put them on and show them off!

Person 1- "Have you seen that TL with those ugly ass Corvette wheels?"

Person 2- "Yea, they're hideous. He should put the OEM rims back on and throw the Vette rims in a fire."




At least they're talking about your car, no?



Keep your OEM rims and save up, like most everyone has said. Instead of wasting your $500 on bad looking rims, put that towards the nice rims.

Mike, I'm sorry I told you to leave. I posted the "" to emphasize it was a joke.

As many have said, the wheels are just downright ugly.

I agree with the others here, run your stock wheels for a while, when you're moved out and settled into a new place, then you save up for wheels.

Wheels on your car are not a #1 priority, it's a want.

Take care of your needs first.

Oh, I knew that.
So what did you decide finally? Doing the vette wheels? I'm curious to see how they look, might look cool and everyone can STFU!

Lmao this thread is hilarious. I'd definitely keep the banged up stock wheels over the vette wheels. Keep that $500 you're about to drop on those wheels and put it in a savings account, then once you get a job, keep adding to it, and boom, new NICE wheels

I smell a two decade old troll...
I am just getting this feeling. None of his retorts are addressing any of the constructive criticism.

Ok, well since you made up your mind. Stop talking about it and do it and post up pictures. It would be a lot easier to either like it, or incessantly make fun of you for your decision if you actually GET THEM.

im gonna laugh my ass of when you have to turn around and sell the vette wheels for a loss.... youll never get your money back out of them and no one will ever...ever need 50 mm spacers all i got to say is think about what your doing from a financial standpoint before you actually do it
