For those of you who added Style 166 wheels & tires and M-Tech areodynamic kit, which did you do first & why?

I am prepared to do one of them next month, then that's it for a few months. This month it is the BSW Stage 1 speakers.

I suggest doing the M-Kit first because 166 wheels alone may look a bit out of place without the M-Kit. Whereas the 124s will look just fine with the Kit.

And besides, your new 166 wheels are gonna need some serious summer rubber ... and there is still too much Winter left to do that now.

When both are completed, your 550 is going to look very sharp!

I think the Mtech kit will change the car the most so go with that first.
