I made a similar decision not too long ago. I put on headlights, tails, bodykit, exhaust, etc... last year. I still don't have any nice wheels, other than the stock 15s. Everyone tells me I need wheels, but at least it looks nice so far. And hopefully picking up wheels this summer. Good luck!

At least get 17s... but rims when you have the bulk cash... you can do the other things in small pieces.

IMO, If you are thrifty and do the work yourself or with some friends that know what they are doing you can afford to get some nice springs with your oem struts (it'll laast a while anyway) AND get some wheels and tires. Remember ebay is your friend when you are on a budget.

Later, while you are enjoyig your new set-up you can do the little appearance things.
