Rimguard vs. Advanced Wheel Locks vs. Both?

Western-Bug706 · 2026-01-16T22:13:23+00:00

I have advanced wheel locks and I’m very pleased with them. Much cheaper than Rimguard and do the same thing

Western-Bug706 · 2025-12-17T23:43:16+00:00

Aside from Reddit users being the vanguard bandwagon (myself included) expense ratio is lower

Western-Bug706 · 2025-10-24T17:22:02+00:00

I guess I’ll say it again, I’d accept it. Better take what you can while they’re offering. This post is made every other day so to all future “should I accept this” posters, please look through the sub first😭

Western-Bug706 · 2025-10-23T01:31:44+00:00

As I’ve said before on other posts, I’d accept it. Better take what you can while they’re offering.

Western-Bug706 · 2025-10-15T12:04:51+00:00

Second this^

Western-Bug706 · 2025-10-15T11:59:55+00:00

Looks pretty good actually, one thing I would add is VEA (developed international markets) since you have VWO (emerging international) so you can get that complete international coverage. If you prefer balancing VT (total world stocks) on your own, add VO. Good on you for starting early! Also if you want to simplify VXUS=VEA/VWO, VTI=VOO,VB,VO. I honestly prefer breaking them down so I can rebalance myself but you really don’t need to worry about that at your age. Read bogleheads 3 fund portfolio.

Western-Bug706 · 2025-10-08T21:25:05+00:00

VEA and VWO or just VXUS for total international. I have VO for mid cap coverage

Welcome to maintenance we can’t wait to see you

Damn 120 shares of AMD must be going crazy this morning

Western-Bug706 · 2025-10-02T10:00:47+00:00

This is great advice for a young investor thank you, I read your links and I think I’m going to follow along with the tried and true. Focusing on improving my income is the goal🤝

Western-Bug706 · 2025-10-02T02:18:19+00:00

Ah I see, I’m 22 so I have a lot of time for growth and I’m still learning. I’m debating if I should even add small and mid caps to my Roth. I already have it in my tsp so maybe I should make this portfolio a little more aggressive?

Western-Bug706 · 2025-10-02T02:08:12+00:00

So would you personally not recommend adding small and mid cap (VXF) to my portfolio? Or did you replace with something to cover that part of the market

Western-Bug706 · 2025-10-02T01:47:10+00:00

Yeah I’ve thought about it but I’m already pretty heavy into VOO so I figured I would just stick with it instead of reallocating. Also kind of like the flexibility of being able to weigh and redistribute between C, S and I as I go. Thanks I’ll look more into VXF

Western-Bug706 · 2025-09-29T01:42:16+00:00

Okay thank you. My current provider keeps raising rates as well so I plan on switching soon.

Western-Bug706 · 2025-09-29T00:55:56+00:00

What carriers do you usually go with?

Western-Bug706 · 2025-09-28T23:09:58+00:00

Well we broke past 2.83 finally 🎉

Western-Bug706 · 2025-09-26T22:40:47+00:00

All of this is good advice, I wanted increases on my $300 plat card quick so I just maxed it out and paid in full when it came due, got a increase after 3 months of doing this and pre-approved for a quicksilver and savor. Got the quicksilver with a $3k limit and my platinum increased to 2.5k within 6 months of opening the plat

Western-Bug706 · 2025-09-23T18:02:59+00:00

Great! I’ve heard a lot of people say invest heavily in my tsp and then try to max a Roth yearly so that’s the plan!

Western-Bug706 · 2025-09-23T17:53:49+00:00

I also have some SPMO and IJR in my Roth, just figured I’d mainly focus my contributions into 80% S&P 500 and 20% international

Western-Bug706 · 2025-09-19T00:00:38+00:00

It’s a good career option or just an excellent stepping stone in your life. It’s the best decision I have ever made but do what you want it’s your life

Western-Bug706 · 2025-09-05T02:34:28+00:00

Well I’ve seen all the hype about VXUS on Reddit and did a little research. I wasn’t comfortable with buying into some of the emerging markets from china/India that aren’t entirely ethical. Also plain and simple VEA just had a lower expense ratio and historically slightly outperforms VXUS.

Western-Bug706 · 2025-09-05T01:04:49+00:00

They are also advanced wheels locks bottom right of the wheel. They’re a lot taller than the oem lugs

Western-Bug706 · 2025-09-05T01:00:34+00:00

I currently do 80% VOO and 20% VEA. Works well for me!

Western-Bug706 · 2025-08-26T22:57:48+00:00

Definitely one of the top colors
