I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, but speaking from personal experience, there are many handfuls of nice cars at Hofstra. Cayennes, E70s, E90s, E46, E53, C-Class, etc. However... most of them commute and 95% of them are not "attention-getting" like chrome rims... Just my two cents.

You poor thing. Your mom doesn't happen to live in Hackensack and have a silver one, does she?

From what I am understanding, many feel that the rims are gonna tip the scales into the "vandalism attracting" zone.

The way I see it is the scales ARE FAR INTO the "vandalism attracting" zone.

A young university student driving a decent car will be scoffed at regardless of what the nice car is riding on.

Although I do agree/admit you guys are going to have a better grasp on what the people who live in your city are going do than I would.

On a side note, my mum and dad's cars have been vandalized multiple times each.

My brother an I both with 20" + wheels on 3 different cars have yet to experience it... KNOCK ON WOOD!

I'm just shocked you put what school and what are you gonna be in for any cruising crooks on this site....not smart....weird how nobody mentioned it that he is advertising his possesions....
