Default Which one first??

Should one buy and install a BBK or rims first. I am at a loss. I would personally like to get the rims first. Just kind of curious as to what everyone else thinks..

Go with the wheels first. Best overall improvement of the hole car. BBK is only good for alot of track use, for the stock brakes are pretty good off. After you get bigger wheels you can go for bigger brake kit.

Either or should be fine, if you get your wheels first, make sure you have enough clearance to make a BBK fit.

Rims and new tires are probably better. The stock brakes are fine for the street.

Go 20-inchers. Don't worry about stopping. Just push the peddle hard.
