I think you missed his point, he wasn't commenting that you are buying in steps, but that it seems you are low in funds yet you are aiming for a set up that is very expensive to maintain. at least thats what I gathered from it...

Oh no man, I wasn't trying to come down on you. It's a question about the moves you made.
If you don't mind sitting on the wheels for who knows how long, don't mind buying tires often that's cool. Just make sure you continue to save for everytime you wear out the tires.

Reggie has a point. It's not a flame so much as it is pointing the error in logic.

Good looking wheels

stretch tires offer little curb protection, better watch out when you park
sweet rims

Learn to park.

OMG the lip better be strong! lol

These aren't cookie cutter SPORTMAX crap. These are quality 3 piece Works. I had 275 on 11.5 and it was a nice stretch. 245 on 11 will be sick!

I ran -3.5 deg camber front and back. Tires were wearing on the inside. After I flipped them, they would have lasted about 15,000 miles. Got to pay to play if you want an aggressive wheel setup that doesn't look like 95 % of the cars on clublexus.
