From what I understand the option will come up once you're at the final check out screen, I'd feel safe calling and asking tomorrow. I'll keep this updated.

I'm thinking I might just end up going with PayPal, but sucks it's a hard pull with no reporting afterwards so no pros and cons to credit depending on payments haha.
i'd recommend RPF1 strong for its weight compared to other rims that bend easily

I'd try to hold off on rent a wheel places. These places are just like cash loan advances, they charge you a bad interest rate and in the end you pay double for the wheels. I'd save as much as you can then if you HAVE to, put it on a low interest card, and pay it off as soon as possible NOT minimum payments. I made that mistake when I was younger, and am still trying to get rid of all the cards.

I didn’t read all the responses however financing wheels is just not a good idea imo. Wait until you can comfortably afford them.

Honestly, if you can't afford wheels upfront you shouldn't be buying them at all. They're not a necessity. Unless someone gets some crazy offer of no interest or a decent cash back reward, If you can't afford to pay it in full at time of purchase, you can't afford it.


And before some smart-alex makes a remark about financing a house, or CC's in general, those are different circumstances.


Those TE37s may look nice, but having the ability to make purchases without having to think about that $50 wheel payment every month is even better.

There was a bot (post was since deleted) that revived the thread. No one's at fault here.

Open up a credit card. lots of companies offering 15 months no interest and give you a cash incentive as well for spending x amount. but i advise against financing wheels.

If you can’t buy anything for the car cash and still have a few months savings, you shouldn’t be buying anything cosmetic or performance. Maintenance is the exception because it’s a necessity for a properly operating vehicle. The idea of financing anything other than the car itself or needing to use a credit card for car parts that you want, is not a good idea at all, ever.
