hmmmmmmmmm, I've been going back and forth on this one, both are going to cost me the same, and I only have enough for one (RIGHT NOW, I will do both eventually) and I know With that money I could save up for a Turbo/Supercharger, but realistically I don't NEED a turbo/sc right now, with that much power i might lose my license haha. btw the rims are Work rims from Japan, and the Body kit I would Probably go with .... is the feed kit (at least front and sides).

Opinions? I figured this goes here since the rims are not for really "performance" but more for the looks.

If you must see the rims they are the same ones as canary's car, and Im sure you know where to find the body kit.

btw coilovers would be nice, but i dont want to get them before i get the new tires on, so i can make sure everything goes together.

Im not about getting this done fast, Im more about getting everything done right =d I plan on keeping this car for awhile and doing everything i can to it, and i dont plan on selling it =d

i think it should be rims then body kit. just imo, unless the body kit is really subtle like burnout. just a lipkit.

wheels first and yes they effect the performance of the car but canary's rims are also pretty heavy.

get lightweight performance rims.

no sense in getting performance stuff only to be dragged down by 26 lbs 19" rims.

wheels first then kit. i have my winters(on my stock rims) on my car now and it looks ridiculous with the body kit. ridiculous in a bad way

springs first. then rims, you also get performance if you choose rims lighter than stock.
stick with 18"s unless you want to roll your fender or lower mpg.

^ You can do 19" just fine. The diameter of the tire is almost the same as 18", your tire sidewalls are just thinner.
