Just my two cents about wheels, if you're looking to spend $400-$650 for a set of wheels, you probably shouldn't buy any right now. Save up until you can afford something of better quality. You can buy a set of wheels for $400 at AutoZone. Sure, they may look good, but, would you trust your life with them? I wouldn't. Those four circular metal thingies are the only thing keeping you on the road. I'd pay premium for BBS or actual Porsche factory wheels, rather than "chance it" with something of lesser quality. FWIW, one of my good friends just bought a set of wheels and summer tires (yes, it's the winter) for his STi. Ran him in the $4000 range when all was said and done.
