Default What should I buy?

Alright, I've got $165 coming my way in a couple days for my drums that I'm selling to a friend. I have no clue what to buy because everything I want is around $500 . I don't want to save it because I know it will drizzle away in gas and stuff like that just like the last $200 I had that I was trying to save.

One of my ideas was to go ahead and order one of the black 18x10 Saleen wheels so I can be ready for X-mas. X-mas is getting cut short this year because of my sister and her 2 children, so I'm only getting the 2 18x9 for the front from my parents.

So what should I get?
If no-one has any ideas, then I'm going to go ahead and order the one wheel so I can stock up one by one until the time comes to slap them on.

I like the way your car looks now but saleens will also look great. Id say buy the wheel so you are obligated to buy the other one as well.

I'll worry about tires later, I'm more concerned about obligating myself to buy the wheels and the window tint is something I really look forward to because my friend just got a ticket for the tint on his Acura TL which was totally legal. Cops are a bitch down here, but anyways, I will be tinting the windows but its just not one of those got to do things.

One worry, is there any chance that the wheels could be discontinued while I'm in the middle of this whole process?

Not unless the company burns down and all the worlds inventory is taken with it.

Save it. Open a savings account if you dont have one. That will prevent you from using it.

I would not get one wheel how about if buy the time you buy the others the shade is not right due to it being from a different batch of wheels. Just ask your parents to save if for you and tell them that you want to buy these wheels. They may just help you if when they see you are responsible enough to have money and save. I like the current wheels you have now but I would find a buyer for your current wheels so you can complete the money you need then you could do everything at once.

I plan on keeping these wheels and sticking some DR's on them later on down the road. Plus these wheels are curbed in several different places from previous owner.
