Default Which one first?

I started saving my money to purchase the rims that I wanted but I also would like to go F/I. The question to everyon is should I get my turbo first and just run it at like 8psi, and then start saving for my rims. The other option is to buy the wheels first and then save up to go F/I.

What's more important to you? Kicking *** and taking names, or looking like a baller when you roll up to a club?

Wrong forum, but I'd say get the rims 1st because once you go FI the stocker traction will hender you while under boost.

Thanks for the replys.... I figured it would be in the wrong forum but I did not want to put in F/I due to the fact that it deals with wheels and tires as well and vice versa.

The fact about the traction is the part that I can't decide on. I have always wanted to go F/I but as of right now there is no kit....

I said rims. Personally I like 5Zigens, but Volks are pretty bad *** too.

Nothing better than racing a stock looking Z with a kick.

rims. better to look good than to feel good.

you'd race once or twice a month, if you're lucky.. people drool over your rims at every stoplight.
