I actually think you could do the kit first because the wheels you have look pretty good. But you really can't go wrong with a nice set of 20's and wheels would make much more of statement in terms of looks.

you should get wheels first. but the stocks are not that bad.
this is with 20's on stock sport suspension
this is with the same stock 18's with spacers, mtech kit, and springs

Hey what´s up! Definitely go for wheels first! I got my car with the whole M package, suspension and even the 18" M 135 style wheels and they look like matchbox wheels on this huge car! It was bothering the heck out of me so I just sold them after 1 month to get me a decent size wheel! Pass on 19", go straight to 20". That is THE measure I think looks right for this car..... Just be careful with the offset to prevent rubbing.
By the way your current wheels are 105 styles.
