Wheels first... but you probably need to expand that budget

Wheels is what i was thinking, but i would need to expand my budget. Thats one reason i was looking at other opinions, i might just bite the bullet and go for wheels. As for the M sport kit... painted for ~1500.... idk if thats possible.

But the guy is in Germany. Shipping alone would be a big percent of that budget.

I'd put it aside to pay for an aggressive maintenance schedule and repairs.

Pay me $250 as a consulting fee, and I will show you what to use your remaining 1250 for.
