    I pussed out on a set of 15x7" SSR MK3's for $1900. I don't think I'll ever muster up the courage to fork out anything close to $3500 for a set of wheels!

          Thanks guys for the replies!

          Schoona, thanks for the links! The first link looks tempting, but ive got my mind set on the CH Blacks with the polished lip to match in with the chrome fittings on the Jetta.

          Im still hungover on whether i should get these or not... Im starting to hate my logic of thinking... "Need vs. Want". The one thing thats stopping me is my set of Adrenalins that i bought back in August and I just dont want these to go to waste. I've found a local place that could give me a good deal on a set, but still not 100% if they are worth the shiny penny.

          How do BBS's hold in value?

          Thanks!

            Try answering these questions -

            What else could you do with that amount of money ? Then seriously consider those alternatives.

            IMO you shouldn't be buying something like this thinking about resale value (unless you just need to shore up the purchase decision with some extra justifications).

            From a wealth creation viewpoint buying new cars is a terrible investment, and modding cars is even worse. You need to look at a totally different way - you are buying enjoyment, not something for $$$ return on investment.

            Will you get $4-5,000 of enjoyment from these ? If the answer is definitely yes, then continue.

            How will you react if you go over a nasty pothole and one of these fine wheels is trashed beyond repair ? If you will be able to cope with too much emotional trauma, then buy and ENJOY them with a clear conscience

            If you are honest with yourself you will know what is best for you to do.
