Option #2. Plus, I'd suggest adding some spacers to your 220m's, a relatively cheap mod that'll give you a nice aggressive stance. Jump on the wheels down the road.

...that is a LONG ass time to wait for a car.

Stack the cake, once car gets stateside, resell for more than what you bought it for with damn near zero miles.

get something better..


IF you dont like that then get something to benefit you with tracking. Why buy ridiculous overpriced wheels so they will get scratched and then you cant resell them lol.

I would typically go with suspension and exhaust first. But since you have the budget for wheels, I'd go with wheels and suspension first. Then sell your stock wheel and tires and get an exhaust. Not sure if you budgeted tires in....that would be about $1000 or so.

Though, I'd probably put some miles on the car in stock form to notice more of a difference in terms of suspension and exhaust.
