Not enough to justify the cost, particularly with interest factored in (I'm assuming they will be financed into the total cost of the car).

Good point. Maybe I should get that stuff afterwards. Gotta get the 18s though.

The reason I would like to get the 18s, is cuz I dont want to have to wait while I save up for them. Id like to have it look even nicer when i get it. :?

Then get a credit card for the wheel shopping. Those TRDs are soooooo overpriced and IMO, pretty plain looking, unless that's the look you like. For that price, you've got a huge selection out there.

Credit cards are bad. I may do it though. See how my funds work out.

Well, if you're careful with it, it's no different than financing them thru the dealer. Depending on your down and such, you might be able to finance some aftermarkets with the dealer.

it really helps to get the rims and time of purchasing the car, lik me I couldn't afford to spend 1400 in rims after the I bought my car so I bought them with the car, your dealer should be able to let you pick any rims out you want for whomever and put them in your car deal....

buy the wheel aftermarket! either way you are paying for the 17's if you buy other wheels later you get to keep the 17's. if you order you car with 18's where do they go? you dont get them you never see them. hmmm.... that sucks. you could probly get a couple hundred for them
