Wheels that fit 2014 base tires?

Hmmm. Something to consider.

Except that I will probably only change the tires once every 6-7 years, since I drive my sport cars only 5 month out of the year. I have a RAV4 for the winter.

i put about 3k miles a year myself. my Z only has like 14K miles and this is her 5th year of ownership.

for me, i dont have time to not drive my Z on a nice weekend so this is just a back up plan in case i encounter a blow out or watever as well. it's nice to know you have a spare set if anything happens.

if i only had one set, i would get one extra rear wheel with tire wrapped. 99% of the time i get flats on the rear tire from the front tire kicking up a nail or something. with asymetrical tires, you can use it on both left or right side.

I got you beat! (finally for once!) I put about half of that on my first year of ownership

PS - to the OP, you're a 'struggling college student' but yet you have a brand new 2014 Z?

Might I suggest you trading in the Z for a Sentra/Altima/Juke and then after college jump back into the Z after you're not struggling anymore?

Haha my mom is paying for it for my last year of school and once I graduate she's signing it over to me. Early grad present is a year of payments and insurance since I play baseball for my school so I have no time to work other than summers and winters.

If I were in your situation I wouldn't spend a dime modding my car until I graduated and got a steady paycheck.

I split up what I make over summer and winter saving 75% and the rest goes towards free money so I have some to spend plus a refund check from my school from left over scholarship money.

Honestly, go spend your time and disposable income learning to drive the car. It's a lot more car than an Eclipse and it's RWD. Go AutoX the car. It's fun and you learn a lot.

My brother and I are already planning to do some auto cross this summer when I'm out of school with the Z and his FRS.

Perfect.

Honestly if you have to get rid of the stock wheels buy a set of the sport Rays. You can pick up a set with tires around $1k. Then save your money for a real diff and decent brakes.

I don't have to get rid of them. I am just trying to save money in the long run from switching winter and summer tires back and forth.
