M6 rims and Mtech, get them both!
Listen to nigxdoof!

M-Tech 1st, M6 rims 2nd.

And I'm totally biased obviously.

I would suggest wheels first

wheels on this car still look good without lips or kits

lips or kits without wheels always look funny with stock wheels

Any mod you do should be a mod that can stand on its own without another mod to help complete it.

Kits with stock wheels never can do that.

Go for the kit. If I may suggest the M5 Kit ( instead of the m-tech kit) is also nice.

I'd go M-Tech first. The 124's look OK with the M-Tech, because they're 18's.
If anybody makes remarks about the wheels, you just claim them to be your winter set-up

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 did lowering and wheels 1st, then M-Tech Kit..(mostly because I was waiting for douche bag Quad M.. ) .if you look at my gallery you can see my car lowered with the wheels before the M-Tech was installed. Since you have the 124 sport wheels already it might not be that big of deal, but if you had like 17" wheels or smaller, it would look stupid with the M-tech w/o a good set of wheels.

Rims always before ground effects.....IMO.
