Save your money... Getting wheels "to start off with" implies you want to get other wheels down the track.

Why not just save for a couple more weeks and get the ones you really want. You'll save yourself a lot of money and it will be so much more satisfying when you get them.

Sure you might be able to sell the first set, but you'll still lose a lot.

Alos their was a thread of what happens to cheap copies, how the rim and flat piece broke apart. You dont NEED wheels, so if you cant afford a decent set then just wait, suprisingly stock rims do work just as good as good quality rims, their is no need to change except for looks, so just wait and get something decent.

And please don't get 17" they look soooo small on a VT!!

Yep, save the extra cash and get AT LEAST 18's.............19's look wicked on VT's IMO.

definately get something decent to save hassles in the future

Why not just save for a couple more weeks

I can see where the blokes coming from though, its not always as easy as just save for a couple of weeks and away you go. I tried to run, maintain and personalise a car on apprenticship wages and its tough. You buy the car you love then want to personalise it and make it your own, but on $120 (after they take out the repayment) a week its tough. That doesnt include fuel, insurance, rego plus a few bucks to spend with your mates on a weekend.

Some people are lucky, they can just wait a few weeks to buy the best on the market, but not everyone can. As my mates know Ive been trying for 4 damn years to buy a Sat Nav and finally got one last week when work doubled up my pay. When I finish my apprenticeship within the next few weeks my take home pay acctually triples what I get now, and thats not even me being payed what someone qualified in my field with my product knowledge is worth

Its tough being on crap pay and wanting to personalise your first car, I know, Ive been there
