How did you talk yourself into spending $3500 for volks and tires?

Think of it this way...you are going to school you said right? So my question is, do you have a garage to park in? I wouldn't park a car with any nice wheels on it at a college campus for months/years/etc. If you have a garage, money, and no other expenses (although college is expensive sooo I dunno about that) then there is no reason to NOT get them right? I can't relate, I had to save up money for months to get my super awesome 15" Borbets ($800 with tires) on my 1988 MR2 when I was in college haha.

Well my car is paid for, and I have extra cash. So I bought them. Now, I'm selling my old car audio system, stock wheels, and expensive *** golf club set I have that I dont use anymore to help beef up my bank account again. Even if they dont sell, I still have quite a bit of money. Thanks everyone for their comments, hell- you only live once right?

just my conjecture, but your average person that sports high end products (volks) are subconsciously trying to tell hot girls that you're a quality provider at the same time warning other males to watch out...i got money biatch"

Glad you bought them. I'm sure you will be happy with their quality. I've had Volk in the past and they are nice, but I didn't feel like spending 4k on rims again. Plus I curbed them a few days later and I was upset for days. It wasn't worth the headache for me. I just purchased a new set of wheels and tires (not volk) and installed them today, I got a good deal, I love them, and I don't look just like every other Z on the street. And that includes knockoffs that are made to look like volks or nismo's.
