what to get next...

im stuck in between two things guys maybe you guys can help or at least share your opininons.. ok well what do you guys feel is better a sound system for our babys or a set of rims???
i already have headers and im waiting on a cai.. just worked out a deal on some projectors.getting a paint job (the chips all over the front are killin me).. so im left with 800 dollars... what do you guys think is more worth it?? i have the stock system and it has no bass so im almost embarasssed to blast the music.. on the other hand i have the stock 97 rims.. which i just purchased tires for like an idiot.. ive been looking around and finding some good deals but for some reason am scared to make one decision or the other.. if you guys see any good deals send me the links.. maybe theyd help make my decision too..

depends what you like better. i got my system first before doing the suspension/rims. if i were u, i'd get the suspension first before getting the wheels; especially since you bought tires already. go for the system and suspension... by the time your tires are worn a little, you should have enough money for good quality rims. jmo.

It really depend on what your priority is.

However, I would drop the car (lowering springs and aftermarket struts) before I'd invest money into rims. Anyways, $800 isn't going to get you a good set of rims and tires (especially if you're going with 17" or bigger).

$800 would be a decent investment in a sound system.
