3D TV is over rated, I myself don't like the 3D effect on tv.

Wheels. You can always catch a deal on a tv, especially when a new model is about to come out.

I say go for the wheels (I think that you really want them anyhow). The TV technology is going to continue to change rapidly and the prices will continue to drop.

Now, if you think long term .... ask the wife which she would prefer ... and do the one she wants. You're going to get them both eventually anyway why not keep her happy.

Heck my wife bought me my second vette for a 60th b-day present.

The wheels will get you chicks. The TV wont. They will just think your a couch potato.

WHEELS!

But for a fair test sample, you need to post this on a TV forum as well!

Yeah but a cool TV will make the "chick" he already has HAPPIER!! Get one of the BIGGER TV's that were mentioned( when it comes to TV,,BIGGER is BETTER),,get some use out of the tires you have,,and SAVE for the wheels as you drive and then you will have it all and not stretch the budget!!
