unless you plan on doing mods in conjuction with each other, dont do anything
getting wheels will make the gap look huge and then youll want springs
getting springs will make you want to get bigger wheels because the smaller wheels look off
getting mtech makes you want wheels and a drop
Welcome to the money pit, take a number, take a seat wait for yours to be called lol

Well, if you are looking at wheels that cost more than the price of an OEM M Tech kit painted and installed, you must be looking at some fly forged 3 piece wheels because an OEM M Tech kit painted and installed is not cheap at all.
wheels plus tires cost $2k or more for nice but not forged (looking at)
or volks G10 cost over $3k just wheels

even still you need to pay for paint and install, tag on another 1k or so for that
i would have done springs and wheels first

I start to mode my car when it is 58K miles 
this is what I got in order:
1) OEM M166 Rims + Michelin Tires All Seasons = $2430 total
2) HID Lights, angel eyes, etc anything related to light except Interior LED Light (it ugly) = $~400 i think
3) Euro stickers $25
4) SAME TIME = OEM MTECH BodyKit + painted + install = $2240, Europe LCI Tailight with V6 cable $889, M5 style spoiler $125
Coming Soon: RPI Exhaust
END OF E60 ERA for me.
