Now I know their are about 5000 ways to spend 600 bucks on our cars so I'll narrow it down for you. I can't decide what I want to get. For about the same cost I can either get beige leather gt interior seats or 17 rims and tires for my car. I'm kinda leaning towards the seats because they are both appearance and more comfortable for me. Plus I just bought new tires I few months ago. Let me know what you think?

I say seats because for $600 you wont be able to get really nice rims...

Seats! For that amount of money, you will not be able to find nice, reliable rims.

I say save the 600 until you get enough for rims and tires. Nothing changes the appearance of a car like rims.

Hmmm.......that IS a tough one, but $600 seats go alot further than $600 Rims. I say go for the seats, lots of people have rims, not a lot of people have seats....well you know what I mean

Yeah I mean grey. The guy at that online junkyard said they made them in beige but he was wrong. I would get the dark grey along with the panels I already have coming.

Well, I got my 17" Konig Verdicts brand new for $630 without tires. Plus you said you got tires already, right?

I got these for $300 plus shipping, then the tires were $600, but I am sure you could find cheaper tires.

he's got new 15's tires
Jtown, why did you spend $600 on tires?

Maybe because he wanted some good tires. For performance, tires are more important than the wheel itself.

yeah it is not hard to spend 600 on tires. If you really want to spend some money I found out the price for 26' Kumhos today(we all know kumhos are cheaper than most tires) $1309 per tire. That is more than I spent on rims and tires put together.

Well, you figure he paid about $140 per tire plus tax. That's really not that bad for some decent tires. Hell, the stock 15" Michelin tire is $120 each.

That's f'in rediculous. That's why I bought mine from a tire shop. It was like $122 plu tax and $10 to mount and balance. I would never buy tires from a dealership.

I happen to think that the best thing you can do for your car's apperance is to lower it. maybe you can get some tib struts and springs. your car will handle better, and look a lot better too.

Good idea Casey but I already have the tib struts and b+g springs. I love the feel of them.

i think the important question is where did jtown get those rims for only 300 bucks and what brand are they and where can I get some too???

There ya don't cause neither of those are the correct lug pattern for the Elantra. Nice try though.
