...and stock wheels would be an upgrade from what you are thinking of getting

Here come the haters due to the fact that the kid is 16. With that said, even though you are working on a small and limited earning means, only get quality parts including nice wheels, otherwise you'll regret it in the long run.

I think 'convince the parents' implies anything but 'limited means'

Amuse kit+brand new 2011 370z on 'limited earning means'?

karotZ · 09-21-2011, 05:40 PM

I would pass OP. Now, do you have a base or sport? Regardless, if you do have any, I would prefer to don the Amuse with powder coated satin black base or sport wheels.

And for reference, here are the wheels:

To each of his own, right? I myself prefer single color, like hyper silver, gun metal or matte/satin black. If you are going for two-tone / triple-tone, it needs to be done with taste - yet again, just my opinion.

Yea your right have to convince parents might be getting 19-20 inch volks GT-30

NYBladeZ · 09-22-2011, 09:42 AM

What do you want the kid to do, apologize for having well to do parents. If he can get a full amuse kit and wheels then so be it, I just hope he drives like a normal person, that's always the greater issue.

On the topic, don't get the wheels, hold out for the volks.
