of course, I cant fork the $ for both air and wheels at the same time, so I have to decide from one or the other. leaning towards air at this point.

Wheels first then suspension. The wheels will make the car look 1,000x better than the factory setup and then once you get the money decide on your suspension setup

Only one answer worth anything ^^

Car with wheels at stock height looks horrible! Drop on factory rims you can get away with. So do air first and save up

If you want your stock car to look like it can go rock climbing, then by all means, do wheels first.

I'm abit partial to dropping it first. The stock 16's suck in the looks department, but once slammed they actually don't look 'too' bad. Of course I still need wheels bad. But I get tons of comments on the car looking nice when I'm out and about..
