I'd say rims, but the '06 rims look pretty good. If you're thinking about the nismo kit, the sideskirts and rears should look pretty good with the '06 rims with a drop. Don't believe a nismo front lip is available as of yet, but you can always get a full bumper.

Though if you want one of those ricey kits, then definately wheels first. The '06 wheels and tires can get a pretty good dollar amount at this time.

The only thing I'd say is that to me, it's a total package. What I mean is, that I'd choose them together (photoshopping is cheap shopping) and then once you know what you want, first get rims.

In other words, I think there are nice looking wheels and nice looking kits that don't look great together.

wait wait wait, so most body kits w/full bumper replacement don't fit an 06' now or just lip kits? which would make more sense... In any case, get Rims first, body kit last. The car stock looks sexy enough to last for awhile. The last thing I'll get done on my car is a body kit.

I'd like to take your rims off your hands. Do you have pics of them and how much are you looking to get for them? I live in Austin, so it'd be a short drive.

How much do you want for them? They are the ones that look like the 35th Anniversary Edition right?

I like the way my 06 rims look and I plan on keeping them. I am going to get springs and then the full Nismo as soon as the front is released. I say keep you OEM rims and just go body kit!

It used to be my daily driver up until I put the body kit on. I had the twin turbo kit for about 9 months before I put the bodykit on, and it was my daily driver all along. Now with the bodykit the car gets too much attention when I take it out, and its really low as well. So I have some trouble going over bumps and stuff. Now I just take it out every weekend and whenever its really nice outside.

Rims. Unless you want something simple for a body kit like a front lip. If that is the case... both.
