I'm with Robb on this one, playa. By the time you get back, you might see some rims that you really want, and you'll have plenty enough to get them and maybe another mod too.

Besides, the streets up here in Boston are rough - get a sense for the environment that you're going into, and work it out from there - there are a couple shops in the area here too - when you're up here, give me a holla in the NorthEast forum and I can point you in the right direction.

peace

u got 2 options

buy rims now and when u leave to Boston you will suffer 365 1/4 days of craziness dying to drive ur hooked up car.
OR
u can buy rims later when ur physically available to drive with ur hooked up ride.

I prefer the first option, Mental Hospital has one more room reserved for u dude. j/k

Option #4 Look for some used rims to ride on for the summer and sell them when you leave for college. You should get most of your money back if you don't bash them up.

Yeah, if you buy the rims now, there is a higher chance of them getting jacked while you're gone..
