Which one first? Wheels or Borla exhaust

I've got the money for either a Borla exhaust or a set of 18" Voxx Scorze wheels. Can only afford one at this time.
The wheels look great, but the Borla sounds too wicked to pass up. At a crossroads. BTW, getting my car back in a couple of days. Fender bender. Costs just under $5K to replace front bumper, driver side front quarter panel, headlight, and a couple of other minor things. Other guy's insurance paying for it, so I don't car what it costs. Genuine parts. Let me know what you think on the wheel or exhaust dilemma.

get rims for show, get exhaust for performance..whichever is more important to you.

Personally I'm saving up for the whole shebang... Rims/Tires, Exhausts, Body kit all at once... then go for the interior.

I would choose rims before all of them, then work in that order.

How much do the new wheels weigh (relative to stock)?

I'm assuming you have the upgraded 18"s that come stock. I feel that the stock wheels aren't that bad looking. In my opinion i would go with the new exhaust since i'm into performance. I can't stand how quiet the stock exhaust is, Rotarys are suppose to be loud :D Also when your doing 60mph people can't see what your wheels look like their just a blur, atleast they'll hear your car though

Me personally, I always prefer the mods that actually HELP performance, rather than only changing the look.

Agreed -- given the 2 choices, go Borla
