Rims or Paint

Ok a big question.. Should I get my car repainted or get new rims first? I havent decided totally on the color but I was either gonna do a black pearl, metallic black or metallic black pearl if possible.. And the rims im going with arnt seen on f-bodies too often. They are HP Racing Evo's 18x9 all around..

So which one do you all think I should go with first?

Wheels. Although Im biased... I think painting should be the very last completion of a car... I just think its a waste of money overall, but it looks nice.

paint. i know how it is. with my red maro, no one thought it was that bad, but i knew of every little scratch and it bugged me.

once i got it painted it was the best thing i could have done. compliments left and right, shined like a mother.

nothing like a flawless black paint job.

if the paints bad it will look worse with nice wheels, will look like half the cars in the projects here 8 grand in wheels on a $800 car (I know yours doesn't look that bad but you get the point)
