save the money that you are going to use to buy paint, put it in a piggy bank with putting away a couple dollars here and there, then in a couple months you will have some nice cash.
Just save up man, thats my point

Just paint some steelies flat black and tell everyone they are your winters. when people ask why your driving with you winter rims in the spring/summer, tell em your good ones were riped off from your garage during the winter hahahahaha.
they might feel for ya and give ya a deal on some new ones hahaha
