well, i dont have either right now...
i have to find out if i owe any money back to the financial aid people cuz i dropped some classes at the end of last semester.
If i dont, then i'll buy the tokico blues and tein s techs... and maybe the sidemarkers if they arent too expensive.

i think that if you you took the classes for about 3/4 of the semester you don't owe money.

s-techs you can get for $180, not sure about the blues and the sidemarkers you can get for $20 on ebay or about $45 for some authentic JDM stanley ones. just giving you some ballpark estimates

btw where do you go to school at?

EDIT: damn we should set up another norcal civic meet with croninc and jpnolan i don't mind having one in lake county seems like a nice place to relax

i'd be down for a meet. i'd like to meet some people with cars like mine.

I found some s-techs for 145 on ebay and some tokico blues for i think 285? not too shabby if i could get it all for less than 500... my check was 675. lol.

i go to school at Yuba Community College in Clearlake

lol i wanted to transfer to yuba. i was going to do the radiology program there.

caution about s-techs on ebay though. there are counterfeits floating around. rather spend a little more and get authentic stuff

maybe. haha.
if i can ever get enough money saved up. wheels/tires will be the most expensive part.
i found a site with the C8's that i want for $470 including shipping. Helllla good price.
but tires would probably be another 300-400.. maybe 500...

^ for your tires if ud be willing to go a cheaper route (meaning not like goodyear or bfgoodrich etc) you could prolly get 195/50/R15's for less than $350 or 195/45/R16's for prolly less than $375. I think those are the correct sizes but i might be mistaken. I mean i havent specifically looked but i have the 14" hx wheels and got cheapy no name brand stuff (Continental Berum's) and it cost me less than my whole paycheck. Was like $281 after instalation and everything. Actuallyif i remember right i dont think that the Falken tires are too expensive but Trust would know more about that then i do.

Just tryin to help

Idk if they are in California but i like Discount Tire cause they're relliable and have great warranties with a great selection. They have Drag wheels i think but not Rotas but they are basically the same thing. I think u said u wanted one or the other, sorry if not im just too lazy to go and check right now lol

If they dont have Discount Tire, just use tirerack.com. Great service and can get your order shipped basically anywhere (they go through local shops so theres gotta be one near you) and they also do warranties and service deals with the tire shops that they go through if im not mistaken.
