Here come the haters due to the fact that the kid is 16. With that said, even though you are working on a small and limited earning means, only get quality parts including nice wheels, otherwise you'll regret it in the long run.

I think 'convince the parents' implies anything but 'limited means'

Amuse kit+brand new 2011 370z on 'limited earning means'?

I would pass OP. Now, do you have a base or sport? Regardless, if you do have any, I would prefer to don the Amuse with powder coated satin black base or sport wheels.

To each of his own, right? I myself prefer single color, like hyper silver, gun metal or matte/satin black. If you are going for two-tone / triple-tone, it needs to be done with taste - yet again, just my opinion.

What do you want the kid to do, apologize for having well to do parents. If he can get a full amuse kit and wheels then so be it, I just hope he drives like a normal person, that's always the greater issue.

On the topic, don't get the wheels, hold out for the volks.
