Imagine my shock and surprise to find Gramlights going for $4k a set with rubber on The Ebays... can anyone think of some low cost, low weight rims that will look good on our cars?

I don't think people look at that fact Dan, nor do I think some people care. I know my Celica is worth near $3,500, but is that going to deter me from buying expensive wheels and suspension, and other mods that will total up above that? No.

I suppose my problem is only with the people who put $4,000 wheels on their $2,000 car, and say it's worth $6,000.

Well.. isn't that TRUE?!!!1111!!!


Plus if I am spending $4K on wheels before spending comparable amounts of money on my suspension; people are going to correctly call me out as being an idiot smile.gif
