Do yourself a favor and do a poll on what gears to get and maybe think about going big.

dont bother with the wheels yet to much money for what you get. That should be towards the bottom of the list.
Please, for the love of god don't do this. Just search. Please.

I won't haha- I've pretty much made my mind up on 3.73s. I've done my research and they seem perfect for me. I think I'm leaning towards paying my loan off and then maybe asking for gears for my birthday that way I get the best of both worlds

Oh, and why do a lot of you guys think I should put wheels off for the time being?

I got some 3.73's sitting in a box waiting for install I also figured out that 3.73 was the best for me. I'll prob kick myself when/if i drive a car with 4.10's, but i think ill get over it quickly

I would get wheels/tires if you know what you want... Just be prepared to spend $500+. I would look for used as well...

OP, your style wheels look good i think. I think basic performance mods should take president over styling. For me, i found used wheels with good tires on for $500 so i jumped on that. But I did exhaust first, followed by the CAI(which was a mistake...) and then a tuner and then came wheels. 4.10's then followed the suspension mods. There is usually and order people tend to pick based off what they want their car to be. If you want your car to be a drag car, power first, visuals second. Show car, visuals first and power second. DD, mix of both. Its really based off what you want your car to be.

I got my rims and tires all four with about 80% tread left for 100$! haha This guy i worked with said they rubbed on his front on his stang and no one was taking them so he asked if i wanted them for 100. I jumped on that! Other than that my paint could use a new coat but i like more power mods than visual.
