Mod or Wheels?

If you had the choice to buy a set of chrome rims and tires or put CAI, MD Spacer and DC headers which would you rather do first to your car??

I've been going back and forth since I'm waiting for TN to release their Revup kit, the price of some nice tire/rims + suspension + Body kit will put me around 7 - 8K and that will be the same price if I slap a Turbo. Now since i was going to create a thread for this one i might as well put it here.

Ok sorry for hijacking this thread:
1:
19 Volk SF Challenge
Suspension upgrade
Body kit

or

2:
Turbonetics ST with everything stock.

I have a 05 6MT, the stock 19 inch is not that bad so what do you guys think?

my only problem with going for look first is that the more you make your car look nice, the more they try to race you. that's why the first thing i did is get the Mrev.

I'm really leaning toward the Turbo and already got the permission from my wife but my only concern is that I'm not single anymore and if something happen to my G, I'm not gonna hear the end of it from my wife. Plus I've had mod all my previous cars and after awhile maintenance is a biatch...

to be perfectly honest, if you feel that car is not fast enough, where you actually want some performance mods to address that, you're going to want to stay away from even heavier (this is an assumption) chrome wheels than the set you have now.

Based on personal aesthetic preference, chrome wheels seem to cheapen almost all modern cars. But then again, I also claim to like beef-a-roni. So take that with a grain of salt.

athens- if you can I would get the turbo and wheels (forget the bodykit, the g doesn't need one; suspension, imo is good too)

I asked myself the same question. the mods turned out cheaper since you gotta spend a lot more to get decent wheels
