Default Did something Foolish - Need your opinion

So despite my usual sound financial / econmical judgement, I decided to seek revenge against the responsible side of me, the same side that keeps me couped up in an office for so 60 hours a week, and purchase another set of rims.

Now, having bought the rims, and realizing how terribly unnecessary they are considering I already have a set of rims and how I hate attracting unnecessary attention to car, I am faced with a moral dilemma - Keep the wheels and invest the necessary funds to have them repolished / refinished and finally have Big Dog rims or throw in the towel and be the mild mannered man that I know I should be and relinquish the rims to you vultures.

Thoughts?

I say just keep them and clean them up. Looks very nice on the car. Mild mannered is good but sometimes you have to treat yourself. Besides, why work in the office like 60+ hours a week if you cant treat yourself to a little something now and then.

by the way mine are forsale and its close to what u paid for them too
Tone , have always loved the looks of your first gen and am anxious to see what you get on the beast next. Hmm,,, come to think of it,, I am looking for a new set of wheels.........

Well, had I known that you were going to put your infamous Zaubers up on the market, I would have gladly taken them off your hands. Plus I would have preferred your 18s over the 19s. These are a little too big for my tastes.

Any ideas where I can get them shined up?

Dennis can do them for you Kyle. He removed all curb rash on my wheels & they are flawless. Also had Dennis remove the clearcoat for a mirror like finish for the lips. If you keep these wheels, have the car lowered some more. Looks a bit 4x4 ish imo compared to the old setup that I really like.

This is what I love about NELOC/Clublexus,... down to earth and honest people....... of all the forums I've been on for years, you guys are really something......
Nice wheels bro,.... this is what I'd probably do get rid of em and take couple of hundred in loss, cause you dont like em anyway.... probably wont get better after having all shined up either & you said it its not you,.... its all good in the end cause its out of your sytem now..... ATB
