Hopefully otherwise he's looking at some cheap rims.

I'd get rims if I were you. It can change the handling of the car and dramatically change the looks. So you get performance and looks. I don't have anything done to the outside of my car exccept the rims and I get compliments and looks all the time.

rims are a must for an 03. exhaust note stock is great but the rims and tires suck. go with wheels

Wheels might not be a bad idea, I've put 6k in performance and 0 in looks and I kinda wish I would of just bought some wheels first.

I'd say wheels. Which wheels do you have in mind?

Typical exhaust will run you $1,000-$1,200.
A good set of 19" wheels with tires will run you anywhere between $3,000-close to $4,000.

Get the exhaust now and start saving money for the rims & tires. Before you know it you'll need new tires showing off the exhaust!

Suspension first mother ****er!!!
Get coilovers. But if its between the two, get the rims. Your getting 19s so I'm sure pure performance is not what you are going for.
