A funny purchase! Have you done this?

Haha just thought I'd share something I just bought that I thought was pretty funny:

As a high school student, I obviously do not have salary. I got so anxious, I just pulled the trigger and ordered only 1 wheel! I'll be caddying at the country club this weekend to have enough to order 2 more! I will caddy the weekend after that and hoepfully can order the last 1 lol!

I ordered the Apex Arc 8 in 17x8.5 ET40. Hyper Silver to go with my SGM.

Anybody ever done this?

No...that's a terrible idea.

Worst scenario is you keep buying them one-by-one and then right before you're ready to buy the fourth, they get discontinued lol

CN: Save that money until you're ready to buy all four. God forbid between now and then your *insert expensive wear item here* breaks and you don't have the cash to get to get the car fixed.

Why not go with 18's? Unless you plan on using your tires off the stock rims?

Glad to see a young student actually work for his parts. The fact that you are working for them will make it more rewarding. Props to you my friend. Post pics of the setup once you have everything sorted out.

Just put new rubber on 3 weeks ago-- Michellin Pilot Sports A/S 3s- 18s were too expensive for me at the time. I've been talking with Apex and they recommend that I only go with 8.5 because it'll fit the tires without stretch. I'll be able to order the others in due time. Pics will def be up!
