Default FI or shoes?

At first, I made the decision to go for the bling factor and get the rims: SSR sp1s. I enjoyed them much and sold them. This time, I can't decide whether I want the new volk Ti. Gunmetal 17" ce28n or comptech blower...I can't afford to get both and I can't decide which one I should go for...

what would you guys do?

go for the blower.... the stock wheels look good as it is... you can get wheels later....

or you can order the volks (make a small deposit)... and get the blower... then by the time the volks come in from japan you'll have enough money to pay the rest of the bill....

I think it all depends on what kind of person you are more of. If you are more of a cruiser, get some nice shoes. If you are speed junkie, then go with the blower. Either way its a great choice. Good luck!

I think if you order the Ti gunmetal CEs right now you should be able to order the blower too. Because you will not get the wheels for six months after you order them. Now you just have to talk someone into ordering the wheels for you without a downpayment.

If you have to think about it, get the rims. An aftermarket forced induction kit is probably not for you.

I would get neither so I really can't offer any advice. What I would get would be some JDM six spoke wheels.

If you think the end cost of an SC is going to close to that of inexpensive wheels like those Volks your in for a nasty surprize. I would say go with the wheels if your concerned.

If you havent done your suspension yet. Drop 1200 on a good set of coilovers and then make the choice when you have saved enough money again.

I'd personally get a supercharger over rims, hands down.
