    Well i have some extra money from xmas and selling tires, and this situation of extra money has never happened so i'm sort dumbfounded since I always have my mods planned ahead when I know money will be there (i'm in college.) But i'm stuck between getting the pro comp 7089's in 17x8 or the Afe stage 2 si. wheels will be about 650 shipped and the intake is about 375 shipped so obviously the intake will be cheaper but i already have a drop in and don't know if its worth it. On the other hand i already painted my stock sport wheels black and i like them a lot actually and there is always the risk of losing ride quality going to the aftermarket wheels. Who knew having money could be so stressful haha
