I would start off with some wheels and a drop, then continue on with any performance mods you have in mind.

I agree, no wheels without lowering. It's just not right!

Im 6'3 and no Olsen twin either as far as weight is concerned but these cars do look a little weird with after market wheels and no drop. There are some great conservative drop spring options available, some you can even use with your stock struts.

I have to agree with everyone else: Drop > Wheels > Everything else.

definetly Wheels first....totally changes the appearence.
I got wheels b4 coilovers/springs cause i had the stock 16s, which look stupid if lowered.
I think the stock 17s wont look that bad with the drop but i'd still prefer 19s on stock height over oem 17s with a drop. just fill your car up with ladies to lower it
