Audio is a waste of money.... how often do you drive?!?!?!? You can get the audio system stolen, wear and tear in the interior and importantly, damage to your ears. Speaking of wheels, I did wheels back in '05, it is one of my happiest purchase for my car. In your situation, I get wheels only if you can give proper care and if you are spending money on 18' aftermarket wheels, forget it, just keep it stock. If my car had your wheels and was an everyday car, I'd get spacers and call it a day.

Heres what id do...I'd slam or lower the ride first and slap on some spacers on the stock wheels. then do a system. I have the prokit and its a night and day difference as far as looks go so you'll satisfy the need to make ur car look better with that just. then do your system. Once you run into more cash flow, then get rims.

since you already have the Bose upgrade I'd say go w/ wheels first. If it was stock crap like I originally had I'd say stereo first but since it's Bose you already have a pretty decent system that can hold you over for now. So my vote is wheels now, stereo later. to each his own but I think San Marino blue is too beautiful for bronze wheels.
dude the bose system SUCKS!!!
i guess i have alot of luck then..... ive got one in a custom COMP box ported 
it fit, and I LOVE IT 
OP: its your car and your money bro.... so you need to figure it out for urself....everyone has there own goals and taste....
my advice is... dont cheap out..... whatever you decide to do.... DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!!.... i personally learned the hard way... i cheaped out on wheels and bought axis pentas... i like them... dont get me wrong.... but now i want better wheels...lol...

i feel i should throw in my 2 cents... your tastes w the car will change over time.. but ill try to save you from doing what half of us have already done.... dabbled w low key mods, only to waste all the time and cash to just build up to what we really wanted in the first place...be honest w what youd do w the car if you could do ANYTHING, write it down, and save towards that.... i promise you it beats buying half *** wheels and a lip body kit etc, only to have to sell it all on craigslist in a year or two when youre truly bitten by the bug.. once you start... it wont stop until youre satisfied... might as well go all out, take your time, and buy quality at every step.
UNLESS.. you have restraint and are clear that you ONLY want simple mods period.... some ppl are like that. No sweat. I however cut my car up and went widebody.. haha.
Still, you can never go wrong going simple but staying quality. I would invest in your suspension first w stock wheels and tires.... then move up to exhaust and plenum spacers etc.. leave the stock air box. No point really. Then throw a nice 5 channel GOOD amp, jl etc.. and some good speakers .. i went for bostons.. go lightweight w your sub, theres no point doing what i did.. and regret... double 10w7s and its heavy as hell now.
Again, buy quality parts, pm site sponsor vendors for good deals.. if you cant afford thier prices.. tell them what youcan afford, youl get cut a deal more often then not.
There, my 2 cents.

To write all these big paragraphs is a waste. When all you have to say is one simple phrase.
