Default BUY a audio system or rims?

Im on a limited budget(around 6000) and i plan on doing no significant engine modification(show car) besides intake and exhaust later. I alraedy bought a greddy body kit and was thinking of just powercoating my 18" rims black to match my sb and add the kit and go full on audio. is powercoating rims gay? asking opinions.(i will add rims later)

Or should I sell the bodykit and buy rims and go audio:? thanks for the time.

I would get rims, since you have the bodykit already, just to finish the exterior up.

But, if you decide to sell your bodykit, I would be interested in the SS, just pm me.

$3000 can get some nice rims, and another $3K can get you a pretty good system. Seems like enough cash to go around.

Yes sir. Powdercoating rims is indeed gay. I am going to see what a Greddy kit looks like but I am thinking get the rims to go with your kit.

6 k sounds like it can do both.

But, if you have to choose, decide what is most important to you; your eyes or ears.

Since it's a show car, go for exterior visual mods over audio unless interior is a big part of what you want to show.

IMO, i would go to the rims because im not all into the audio side but 6k sounds resonable for doing both.
