Im kind of on the fence on what to get next. I have been thinking of getting 20 inch S20 rims, or an m5 trunk finisher, or a m5 bumper but have no idea on what to get first. The car now has 19" Linea Corse rims. Any advise would be greatly appreciated

get the DPEs man, even with the stock pieces the car looks right when paired with great looking forged wheels

everyone can spot cheapo wheels when they see em, and youll eventually upgrade the wheels anyway so id just do it first

Bro If i was you, I'd go with the M5 front and side skirts first. You got decent wheels, for now. I did the same thing and bought some basic wheels, which i now do regret, but, Im doing the body now this season since i have some aftermarket wheels, and then next season upgrade to those forged wheels. Those wheels are pretty sweet looking anyway.
