    What would happen to your rims at school? I roll on 19's at my school and there are like 36,000 people, so parking is horrible.

    Thought you were selling your BBS and getting some 19's.

    I tried selling my BBS's for the better part of 6-8 months with no bites, so i decided to keep them

    I have a lot of $$ into those rims, so why risk them getting trashed at school when i have access to 2 other sets of "beater" rims?

    Why not sell both sets of beater rims and get some delux beater rims.

    Still don't see how or why rims would get messed up at school. I have never even gotten a ding or anything (knocking on wood) at school and like I said the parking lots are a zoo. We have five multi-level parking structures (four to eight stories tall) and a total of 9 parking lots. I still have to park around 2 miles away during the beginning of the semester though. Ended up missing my first two classes last semester since it took so long to park.

    I hear ya. I am pretty terrorfied of parking structures, but I don't have much of a choice. The parking spots are tiny too. I have just been pretty lucky. There is a mix of total beater cars and some really expensive ones, I just try not to park next to a junker.

    Call me nuts, but I actually like the stockers better. That will probably be my wife's next ride, only it will be white... We don't need two black avants!

    I like the stockers better too. Not crazy about 'em, but just not feeling the 2nd set.

    Go with the stock look, but either way not a bad option.

    Dude especially if you're parking outside, I agree with you put some less thief-friendly rims out there.

    I say second set.
