Which should i do first?

Ok guys,
I've run across a few extra bucks on the monthly budget for this month for some reason. I've got like a whole list of mods to get my "perfect" tsx. However, i can only afford half or the other and i'm not sure which one to do first.

1. RonJon Inspyres 18' and Avon M550 tires
2. RSB, tinted windows, Avon M550 tires, OEM body kit.

I've only got 18000 miles on my car and i was going to wait until the OEM tires were worn down before i was going to get rims and tires together. But i got a darn nail near the sidewall, a tiny nail too. Kauffman tire wants $250 for a new stock tire. YEA RIGHT! For a tire that sucks they are hella expensive. So i decided to go ahead and get 4 new ones. Not sure which way to go about it though. What do you guys think? I can only afford option A or B, not both. lol

I was going to vote for #2 but if you need a new tire anyway I'd go wheels/tires.

Um... tires are in #2 as well. What were you trying to justify?

You know, I voted number 2, but rethinking this, it might be good to get the rims that you want with the tires that you want if you are changing the rim size. In that particular case, you can add the other stuff later (items in #2).

It may be a little while before i have enough money to go for the other half though. I was thinking the same thing that you were thinking, but then i wasn't 100% sure when i was going to have more money. Hence... the huge dillema hit me. I mean... what if i got tires and wheels? It probably wouldn't look too sharp without a bodykit on it, and i woulnd't have money to lower the car either. Then she wouldn't handle as sharply without the RSB.

Man... this is why my family says i should've of gotten a masters instead of just stopping after college. It's to make decisions like these.

I vote #2 because if you just get rims and tires, it's going to look funny if you don't lower it.
