Not a question for my own benefit folks and frows, just trying to get an answer for the people I see everyday in traffic and in everyday life(Including those people with gas guzzling SUV's that have to have room for "everything"). Just think it is funny that this question has to be asked. By the response so far, I see you guys/gals see it around you as much as I do. Love your kids, the world will benefit.

That sounds like my sons father. He always wants to have the appearance that he is doing good and taking care of business to everyone else. He claims the my son but takes no financial responsibility. They call that being Bougie

no, maybe you should take those said 20"'s and take out a few curbs with them. feed the children and clothe them and when its all said and done, get the rims if they really mean that much to you. I'm sure your children will be SO thankful that you fed them, clothed, them and then let them ride around in the car with rims on it. You know they will tahnk you for the rest of their lives for being ableto have those rims. And if you are really considering rims over your chidren (or whoever is wanting the rims) then maybe you should look into adoption or birth control and i feel bad for your kids.

If this is not a joke, you need to grow up. Once you become a parent the child's needs come first. Buying cool items for yourself and/or your vehicle does not add to your value as a parent. You are now responsible for the health and well being of a child, and should behave as an adult. If you were not ready to give up your selfishness, you should have discussed that before you had a child. A child deserves a safe car to ride in, not a flashy one. Good luck and have a good night.

Oh man does that hit close to home! My ex spent thousands fixing up his trucks (multiple new trucks in the past 2 years) with rims and tires and other accessories, but he could never come up with the money for child support! That is okay because what comes around goes around and he is getting his now. I filed for back pay (14,000) and he is having his latest acquisition repoed as we speak!!!!

Spending any money that is needed by the family and using it for show is a way for a troubled soul to get attention to himself. Having a family and a job should make anyone proud that they can set a example for there children and anyone else. The car is not a show room it is transportation. My answer is NO

KIDS always come first. I know like my kids dad MEN want to have their **** and I tell him you can have it WHEN everything else is done FIRST.. If your being serious I hope the local child authorities check you and your family... Cus that's just wrong. Are you going to feed those said rims to your child when he has an iron deficiency and is starving?

If I was your baby's momma I would kick you out and not let you have anything to do with the children. You seem to be irresponsible. Oh and I would take your car since I would have the children to transport and sell your rims for food,clothes,shelter and gas!!!!!!!

My guy was the same way, I said he could get the rims after all the kids stuff was taken care off.
Buy bulk food and tons of clothes, then buy your rims.

There is nothing that is more important than feeding and clothing your kids....nothing...not even 20" rims for your car. I have a feeling that you already know that.

NOTHING is more important than feeding and clothing a child.
If someone foregoes a child's safety and well being for some material possessions they don't deserve to have children.
