Default Have to keep my priorities in order. Bye-bye Volks. New wheels?

*flame suit is on*
So long story short, I'm 21, pay for my car, insurance, mods, school, and everything else on my own accept for rent and food(thanks mom!). Money isn't exactly growing on tree's either

Okay guys, need your opinions again. I sold my volks to my brother in law because I needed around 1k for school expenses. I want another set of wheels, obviously, I won't be looking at Volks, Works, or SSR's or anthing of the like until I graduate in a year.

Until then, I want a more affordable set. I have money left over from the volks, so I'm looking for your opinions on what to get. I'm leaning towards LC818's, but I'd like me some lip. Also Varrstoens are on my radar. Let me know your thoughts CL. You've never failed me, don't do it now!

Here's are picture for reference.

Whats the knockoff make/model of those rims?
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Those rims are authentic Volk CE28n's. I just posted the picture of my car so you guys can better suggest different wheels to flow with my car.

Your B-In-L got a great deal! Why not just roll with stock 18's until you get the funds for another set.

I think the lc818 in black would look good on your whip.

... stock ISx50 rims look good... plus it will save you some mroe $$$ compared to buying a temporary new set of wheels.

School fees just keep goin up

either keep the stocks or get a set of the varrstoens...they look sick and they are around 1k...matter of fact id get the varrstoens and sell my stocks for pretty much the same price(already sold mine for $800 with tires)

Roll on stocks + spacers if you need something flush and affordable.

It's possible to pay for college + mod on a budget. Keep a savings and be pickier about the mods, and what you can really afford, it'll be less of a headache in procuring funds.

Dyna's if you want lip. I think polished Dyna's would look nice on your car.

If you really like your volks, I would just run on stock and save up. A used set of volks go for around $2k, while the LC will run you $1.3K. That difference isn't a lot, 2 months of waiting and you could easily make up the difference and you'll be much happier

Thx for your input guys. What color should I get, black or color very similar to my old volks shown in the first post?
