OEM kit no wheels?

wheels first or OEM kit first?
at first I was thinking OEM kit, grannies drive around with the OEM kit and stock hubbies, so why shouldn't I.
every one of my friends thought that was stupidest idea ever... they say to use that money to get wheels n rubber.
I see a point, but they dont know how the kit looks like.
so to people who know what the kit looks like, and what a car with no kit and only wheels look like.
your opinion is needed.

summary: OEM kit no wheels, or wheels no OEM kit.

Depends on how much you drive this car. I drive my everyday all day. If it were me:

OEM Kit, F**k the Drop, Rims and Tires.

So true Fraga. My car's a daily driver, and that's how I'm going, OEM kit, rims and tires.

I agree with this. You'll notice a much bigger change in appearance with wheels and a drop as opposed to just the OEM kit.

Altezza's, crayola graphics, stickers and aluminum wing should always be your first mods.
I guarentee you'll get a bigger change in appearance than just wheels and a drop.

I would say wheels then kit. I don't see why everyone says you HAVE TO HAVE a drop. I don't and I like my car that way. I scrape as it is.

Heh, I'm in the same predicament you are in. I decided to go with a body kit first, mainly because it's winter right now

so that gives me some time to save up for some rims [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

If you already got the money then go get the OEM kit. But the oem kit isn't gonna get you noticed that much, its gonna be rims that do. So just keep that in mind.
