Go with the wheels. I choose similar wheels as yours. Mine were petrol, which is a division of TSW. I wanted yours originally, but they were unavailable. They do look very nice on the car though, its a really clean look. A year later though, I do regret the purchase and would have rather gone with forged wheels.

Wheels and tires are ahead so far.
dbae,
When I made the thread I thought I had it set up as a poll but must have screwed something up. I already have the rpi exhaust and scoop and have looked into ECU flashes. I can get the Upsolute done in Charlotte for $350. I can drive to Charlotte after work, get the flash done the next morning and be back home in time for supper. No having to take out the ECU and waiting for it to come back without a car while it's gone. That would be my choice if money is left over after wheels/tires.
I have found a shop locally where I can get the wheels/tires for about $1800 with decent rubber. A better price than I found anywhere on the web. I'm getting taxes done on the 17th so I'll probably put in the order for the wheels and tires that day.
Thanks to everyone that responded.

I plan on using my tax return on my car. I should get back enough to either do the OEM body kit or the TSW Snetterton wheels and tires. I am torn deciding on which way to go. I see that so many people on here have done body kits of some type that it seems routine. I know a lot of folks have done wheels too but there are so many more choices that it allows for more individuality.
Option A: Body kit
Option B: Wheels and tires
Option C: Your ideas
I allowed for Plan C in the poll if you can come up with something else in the $2000 budget range. Plan C can not be Hookers and drugs.
Thanks for the help guys.

Option B gets my vote. Maybe with your new accountant you'll not have to wait another year for a gift from your government you can use for the next mod!
