Regardless even if your car isn't an STi why put Rota's on it. I mean you spent how much for to buy your car? Sneaker with a tux is what that is.

Someone should come up with a formula of the appropriate amount to spend on wheels for a car. I.E if your car is worth $_____ then the least you can is ____% of that number.

I think I spent 16.67% if I did the math properly or at least 1/6 of my cars estimated wealth.

I guess if a car is worth 40k, what is a realistic amount of money to spend on wheels? 1500? 2k???

so that would make it %5???
