~3K for rim/tires + Spacer + Sways.

sell your OEM rims/tires then get springs + clear corners + aesthetic mods

Get what you want dude. Personally I think rims are a waste. They're mainly for looks unless you're trying to reduce unsprung weight. I'd work on the suspension and cats and headers or save the money to get FI later.

i would advise against putting 3.5k into N/A mods. you wont get very far.

i would either:
1. save another 2-3k and go FI
2. get a nice suspension setup (springs/shocks/swaybars) and save the rest
3. get nice wheels
4. get a body kit/06 headlights/etc

I'd go with the whole rims/suspension for right now unless you want performance save about 2 more grand and get a turbo

With $3.5k available . . . If you are an old fart like myself, I'd say buy what you want based on the advice offered to you, here . . . However, if you are a youngster, I'd say save up for your first or second home, etc.

add one more to the wheels/tires/springs category.

you'll need twice that much for a turbo.

it depends on what your goal is with the car............. are you going for looks or performance..........if your going for looks get a body kit or rims.........and if your going for performance save up for a turbo
