1 step way of falling in love with ur car all over again: A new set of Rims. Im not saying 18's, but a clean set of 15's or 16's would do well.

I know I'm killing the spelling on this one, but I used some cheapo Megulliar's spray-on wax that I found in the garage. It's uber easy to apply. Spray, soft wipe, let sit, buff, and then wipe again. We have one of those handheld buffing machine dealies, but I find that it's too much of a hassle to get out and use so I just use my manly biceps. Wah, I can't spend cash on new wheels. My mom wants me to save money for college. |

I'd leave the wheels stock and save your money for stuff that is actually worthwhile. Don't listen to the ricer devil on your shoulder.

Man, since when has putting on a set of alloy wheels on a Japanese car constitute being a ricer? There's nothing rice about upgrading your rolling stock as long as it fits appropriately.
That poor car is rolling on crappy 14" steelies with probably puny 195/60/14 tires. Having a slightly wider and larger diameter tire will improve the safety of your car by improving traction and handling. I'd say, the next time you need new tires, just plus size to 15 or 16" with the money you would spend on new tires and throw in a little extra from the money you would have spent on computer toys. A decent 15 or 16" tire and wheel package will run about $800. There's no need to get fancy ones that are theft magnets. Just some simple 5 or 6 spoke alloys would be great. Armor All is the best stuff for tires. There are plenty of tire dressing products that last longer and shine brighter such as Black Magic. |

Or just use that money for college, so you can focus on your studies while you're in school, nail all your classes, get a good tech job, and buy a *new* or *nicer* car that comes with alloy wheels
