I got you beat! (finally for once!) I put about half of that on my first year of ownership

PS - to the OP, you're a 'struggling college student' but yet you have a brand new 2014 Z?

Might I suggest you trading in the Z for a Sentra/Altima/Juke and then after college jump back into the Z after you're not struggling anymore?

Haha my mom is paying for it for my last year of school and once I graduate she's signing it over to me. Early grad present is a year of payments and insurance since I play baseball for my school so I have no time to work other than summers and winters.

I'm just impatient. Probably have to wait though I guess

If I were in your situation I wouldn't spend a dime modding my car until I graduated and got a steady paycheck.

I, myself found a set of volk te37 19x9.5 19x10.5 for $1000 in my area so I'm pretty optimistic on finding deals. If you absolutely cannot wait your best bet would be to look at some XXR's or maybe some Varrstoen's or other replica wheels. Either way I would recommend to wait it out. Good luck on the search!

I'll have to end up waiting unless something nice shows up. Seems like the best think to do from everyone's opinions. The mod bug hit me once I dropped off my eclipse and left in the Z lol

Honestly, go spend your time and disposable income learning to drive the car. It's a lot more car than an Eclipse and it's RWD. Go AutoX the car. It's fun and you learn a lot.

I split up what I make over summer and winter saving 75% and the rest goes towards free money so I have some to spend plus a refund check from my school from left over scholarship money.

My brother and I are already planning to do some auto cross this summer when I'm out of school with the Z and his FRS.

Perfect.

Honestly if you have to get rid of the stock wheels buy a set of the sport Rays. You can pick up a set with tires around $1k. Then save your money for a real diff and decent brakes.

I don't have to get rid of them. I am just trying to save money in the long run from switching winter and summer tires back and forth.
