lets say you have a perfectly good stock car. then you get some new rims/tires.

what costs would you categorize as a "mod" versus "maintenance/repair"?

personally, i would say the mod includes: rims, tires, mount balance, alignment, gas to get to the alignment shop.

however, i have a friend that just counts the rims as a mod.

this is assuming mods add 0 resale value to your car. its more for expense tracking purposes.

so, whats say you?

going from staggered to square changed how my car drives and behaves completely. I was running 235/35/19 fronts 275/35/19 rears to 255/35/18 square on much lighter wheels and now my car handles bumps and turns in corners a lot better. I did lose that straight line traction but the change was worth it.

I would count the rims/tires as a mod if they were for track purposes/performance.
I would not count the gas you buy or the alignment as a mod.

Well a mod to me is modification. And if those wheels didn't come with the car, then I'd say it's a mod.

I agree with Serf27 . You'll need gas, an alignment, and tires at some point either way. Unless you bought the tires for track or drag use, then I could see how that could be considered a mod.

does it matter what you call it if it is something that
makes you happy.
