Default s-tune suspension or wheels&tires

Advice, please. I've got a few bucks to spend on my 2004 Roadster. Currently installed are Stillen front & rear sways w/ Prothane bushings, and Nismo exhaust.
My question is:
Install Nismo S Tune suspension? OR;
Buy one of the wheel/tire packages- Nismo /Enkai from performancenissan?
This is my daily driver +/- 35 roundtrip freeway miles. On the weekends, I go on the Arizona backroad twisties and behave badly. I do not track this car.
The wheel/tire setup is currently stock 18/Potenzas.
Ultimately, I'm sure I'll do BOTH. The question is which to do first.
Advice is sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

I guess if it were me, I'd do the suspension next, it's going to be lower, that way you can make sure you don't have any tire fitment issues when you go with a wheel package - - -

personally, I went with the Nismo sways and don't think I'll do the S-Tune suspension, I'm happy with the handling improvement and really don't want to go any lower.

Beat of luck - enjoy your Z

get some Konis and springs if you want them and shop around for a better deal on the wheels and tires. Then you can have both.

I would go with wheels and tires if nothing else, to set your car apart from the rest.

wheels change how it looks completetly. suspensoin changes how it handles.
so if you wnat look, go with wheels to make your z unique.
you're into cornering and stiffness, go with suspension.
i think its your personal taste than people's opinion.

s-tunes are barely noticeable for a drop....mostly for a slight improvement in handling. i have s-tunes. if you track your car, go with another suspension setup; in hindsight, thats what i should've done

I vote for Wheels. Having a good looking wheels is like getting a face lift.
