depends on what wheels you want. you can get some new centerlines shipped for 600 bucks. not a bad price imo.

Got mine for I think 500 in the classifieds but it is going to cost me another 690 for tires since Im getting really sticky tires.

yeah i worked 2 jobs for a while...still couldnt save money,and when i did 'soemthign came up' and my fiancee found a way to spend it

i am trying to figure out how early 20's ppl can afford a 03+vehicle and put $3-5k into it...im 20 now and i can afford my truck, insurance, and apartment+bills and squeek by with approx $70 in my pocket....and my fiancee pays for half the bills as well and has approx $70 in her pocket...$8.25/full time job sucks...but i have a 97% chance of getting a new job..$14.99/hr fulltime

EDIT: MAIN TIP!!! Don't spend your money on stupid ****..i had my 02 Lancer..i think i spent like $700 in Neons and Stereo ****....when the original plan for the car was autocrossing...$700 was a nice coilover setup. or Rotas...

hourly jobs arent going to get you where you want to be man. You need high stress jobs to make good money. Ive been #1 in my dept for the last 6 months and the lowest paid guy is on pace to make 120K (loan officer). Im only 25 and will be able to retire and enjoy myself by 40. Work now and enjoy things later. I'll be honest and say that its not a difficult job if you are determined. I was doing what you are doing at 20. BTW I have no shame in saying that I'll pinch a nickle until it bleeds, so Im no big spender like some of the guys on here.
