I just bought a CPU and HD for my computer but I saw a FS/FT for these rims for ~350 including tires.

My car has ugly hubcaps and steel wheels. :(

I'd go for the rims.

Well, depending on what computer you have now.

Rims seem like mostly a waste of money unless you're just totally rolling in extra cash and don't know what to do with it.

CPU and HD? Did you need them? If not, why did you buy them?

I have a 1700 and the cpu i bought was 2500. I also bought another 120 gb hd, but I can probably go several more months before I really need another hd.

I used to blow money on cars and hotrods..total waste. In the end you have to park the thing at the curb and leave it all out side. Spend it on your wife or girlfriend if you want REAL performance...then mabe a few bucks for the box.

rim=no purpose other than to look good.

computer upgrade on the other hand make your games run faster or prettier, which serves no real purpose either except to make your games look good.

pick your poison.

I think rims are really dumb because they cost a lot and they don't do anything.

Computer upgrade.. rims aren't going to make your car go any faster. If this had been a thread about neon blue lights vs rims, that'd be different :)

I recently had the same decision to make and I went for the wheels/tires option. I really wish I had gotten the pc thou. Id say go for the PC! You will get more use from it than u will from new wheels.

What are the tires is more of the question. If they are crap you are wasting your money. If they are good tires then it may be worth the money.

yep, that's right... b/c going with a rim w/ less unsprung weight, or that is wider to accomodate wider tires, or bigger so you get lower profile tires serve no purpose other than to look good... mhm hmmm, that's right. wider, stickier tires mounted on a rim that has less rotating weight offers no purpose other than to look good. yep, what are all those guys thinking!?
