Go for the M-tech kit first. It will make a bigger difference to the look of your car than the wheels. Plus that way you have more time to decide what wheels you want.

In my case I was set on buying 166 style wheels, then i wanted 172s now I don't want either. This is in the space of about 4 months. Just take your time on the wheels.

WHeels first.

Car will look silly with mtech kit and small rims on!

There are enough cars on this forum to see what your car would look like with mtech and whatever style of wheel you end up buying!

Wheels before kit...

Haha, so let me get this straight. You were trying to decide between kit or wheels first. Some of us said kit first, and others wheels first. So to be fair, you're gonna do both?

I like the way you think!! "Quick decisions, that's why you're a star" Kudos to whoever knows that quote. Probably not word for word, just paraphrasing.

To this day, I am still amazed at how Rizbel captured the Orions so well.
