Nice wheels but I think your Dad is trying to give you a lesson on fiscal responsibility. Sometimes patience works best and will make your Dad happy because you listen to him. When the time is right, he may even help you get them.

Yeh, I've been waiting like 2 weeks or so since i've seen these rims, and now the nittos which are on sale on ebay are ending tomorrow, and I would normally wait but its like over 100 more not on ebay. Yeh I'm thinking that he isright, but I workedabout 40 hours a week this entire summer and i havent spent a penny of what I earned.

He might agree to the gears and LSD right now and help you out at x-mas time. Gears and LSD are cheaper and more fun than the wheels.

yeh...no such luck with that. My dad basically puts the kaibosh on those sort of things...I want to buy an intake/tune, and hes like no you can blow up your ecu when you reprogram. Then I was like maybe a shaker then.....your not cutting your hood...FI is wayyyyyyyyyyyy out of the question, as much as I'd love to take advantage of a group buy going on for the xcharger
