I dont get it. I have been playin the game for about a week. Have had loads of car upgrades and won loads of races. I sold my Subura Impeza (which was about my 6th car i think) and yet i still cant buy any decent frikkin wheels.

I have loads of money but cant buy the wheels as they are 'currently locked'.
How long does it take to unlock the decent wheels??!!! I cant buy anything above 17s. Help! Thanks.

Heh, not sure if your making the same stupid mistake as i did....but its a simple one. After a few engine upgrades the MX-5 gets a 6th gear! Could help when that engine blows keeps blowing in 5th! I didnt realise for quite a few races and kept blowing my engine!

I'm still in my MX5, didn't play it last night as I spent most of it upping my stats on SSX3.

Was told that the MX5 was probably the best car to start with, just waiting for the Supra to appear :)

Just need to get past this damn drag race, I think I've had about 50 or more goes at it and just can't get the launch right or blow the engine up right near the end or hit frikkin traffic :(

Style points will only unlock stuff like vinyls.

Winning races are the only way to get the upgrades you want. I completed the game last week. Used the Skyline mostly towards the end. But used the MX-5 for most of the game. Its got the best handeling. Cant remember when you get the 20" alloys (or rims as they call it) Guessing around about after you done 70-80 races. You do also unlock a unique set of Rims from doing a samantha/TJ race(i cant remember which one) where you get to choose some that really stand out!

No not yet, I'll double check tonight when I get home. If I remember correctly - all I've been unlocking is vinyl stuff which doesn't do anything for your reputation anyway.

What race number are you upto now Darkus?

I'm on about 51 [I think] and I still haven't unlocked certain bits which I think should be unlocked :(

I've got my reputation upto 4 stars now so I shouldn't be too far away from the really good stuff, just have to get past this one drag race which is doing my head in, managed to finish 2nd by 0.04 secs the other day, then I still couldn't complete it :(

You usually unlock stuff via the tournaments so just rush through the other stuff like drag races and such, and make sure you do well in the tournies.
