hey guys i was just wondering what you would do in a similiar situation... (most will think im dumb but i just want to know)
alright well my beautiful and wonderful girl is very well off... she might get new rims for x-mas. my problem is that i've never really bought her anything but she wants to give me her rims (evo 17 x 7 wrapped in sumo tires)for x-mas among some other stuff... im buying her one thing (about $150 value) if i let her sell the rims she can get more stuff for her self. do you guys think that i should take the rims or have some pride and let her sell them?

while im at i was wondering if i could use these pics as my sig pic.. how would i do that?
Use the "IMG" separators to post a picture. Have her sell the rims. Won't look right on your car anyways.
And yeah, she's cute. Hooray for you. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

I think you should take the rims if you like them. you said she cried when you refuse to take them, so she'll be happy if you take them. Another thing, you should make an effort to get her something better than $150 gift.

What rims is she getting, those rims look pretty good on her car, but she is f*cking hot, good job on grabbing her <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> .
You are asking the wrong people in this situation, get a girls input. This situation seems like one of those issues where its not the money, but the thought. She would be happier if you kept the rims. If you don't take them she is going to think they are a bad gift, or you could tell her they won't fit, say something like your getting Z brakes soon, and they won't clear, or say the bolt pattern doesn't match up. Then sell them and get her some roses, chocalates, and a necklace, and a 3 pack of jimmy hats, and hopefully you can take it from there. Or be greedy and sell them and get yourself a new pait of rims.

Let her sell them, and maybe you'll also get something in return with the money she gets.
When you said "Evos" for the rims I thought you meant Regamaster evos... you know, the SUPER DUPER light rims? ... but looking at the rims, I'd have her sell them. They're... not that great looking.

how about you take the rims, then sell them, then buy something for her with the money you make? ? ?

Here's the thing, if she has money and she REALLY cares about YOU then the difference in gift prices WON'T matter to her. She probably already knows that you may or may not be able to buy her things but she probably doesn't care. She should be with you for other reasons and in that case then.....if she wants to give you the rims then let her. It would be different if she was buying them for you, but instead she is making a loving gesture that could be concieved as rude if you said no! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'> just a thought.

i change my vote to this, damn good idea
make sure she's cool with it though, don't make it a big deal but ask her so she knows u're not trying to sell them to make money. and when u get the gift(s) for her make sure u use most/all of the money on her and make it something u know she'll like a lot.
just my .02 cents <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Take the rims and hit that shit. Woman take advantage of guys, do the reverse.
Why do i think this was just an excuse to show us a picture of a cute girl?

Your girl is nice (just joining the crowd) but I think you should buy the rims, sell them, and use the money to get her a gift (as someone already suggested). Do that or just let me take them off her hands.....just say I'm your broke ass, close close, 15yr old cousin who wants to be into the import scene....and thinks SHE made a good catch. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

OK, enough about the rims, I just want to know where I can get a really hot rich girl willing to give me expensive stuff, please tell me your sercret 240SxTYLE, I have alot of things I want to do with my car and I need someone like her uncle to fund it.
P.S. logo20, you're a dick dude. I'm sure he would love to buy her something more expensive, but many people do not have rich relatives, and do not have thousands just sitting around. (hell if I found 5 bucks in my desk I would be estatic)

go to your native country, hopefully its 3rd world, then find some rich girl, and tell her your american. Or just go to any third world country, and hopefully you have an american accent, and say your visitiing for the week. And stay for longer and buy some stuff from japan (don't pick too poor of a 3rd world country) then leave the girl and bring all the stuff you got to america then leave when they arrive safely.
But that is the mean way, and I am a gentlemen <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/baaa.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':baaa:'>

I guess the prize of the presenst is not that important, all that matters is that she likes whatever he gets her. Instead of trying to meet a rich girl, you should work to modify your car.

you sure those rims would fit? I thought honda's lug pattern was 4x100 and nissan used 4x114. Not sure though

haha thats funny... i did put "a bonus pic of my girl"... besides i was to lazy to take her pic of that site.
and as for you sanmiam i was fortunately blessed by meeting her. one day i was just talking to one of my friends online and he was in a chat told me to come check it out. i was looking through profiles and she imed me. from there the rest is history.
well as far the rims goes i probably just wont take them at all, but if i have to atleast you guys opened up a option for me, i never thought of selling them... but then wait who wants there gift to someone to be sold <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
thanks guys for your info

To make this a win-win situation just tell her that they won't fit, and the best part is....you won't be lying, that civic is a 4x100 and yours is a 4x114, if they are universal then you could(I wouldn't)lie and tell her that the offset is wrong and they won't work. I personally don't like lying to my girlfriend about anything even as small as that but it's a suggestion.
