Wheels. I think wheels should always be the first mod you do on any car.

First of all , hello to everbody , and today I came here for you guys to judge which would be best decision to make if you are in between the m-teck body kit and the rims 172.

I found out a great deal on the rims selling price less than $1800 , mint condition , and there's more it comes with tires , only used for about 2 months , which I believe still in great condition.

As for the body kit I have done my research , yes it cost the average $2000 and plus , which it is what I always wanted , but I have only $2000 and some to spend on my car.

But, there's a thing , I will have to replace my 545 summer tires anyday soon , plus I have a crack on one of my rims , which I was thinking a new replacement for the damage one, so calculating the 4 new tires plus a new rim , I would say it will cost around what , maybe $1200 , so right now Im more inclinated to wheel package which it will come more handy for me. So guys what do you think about it????
rims first for sure!

Go with the "need" instead of a "want" factor.

After looking at your situation, i agree you need to handle what HAS to be done!

wheels first, makes the most obvious impression when someone looks at your car, plus if you get the kit first, youl be thinking about getting wheels ASAP because IMO stock 18's dont look aggressive enough for the body kit.

Get the 172s. Safety first.

And good wheels add more pop to a car's look than anything else.

Id go wheels. I asked the same question here recently and everyone seems to agree that wheels make the biggest improvment
