Headers or Rims?

Ok, What should I buy...headers...or rims?


Im not getting ceramic headers just painted....everyone says u hardly notice any difference temp wise between them. Then who cares if they look better you can hardly see are headers anyways. As for rims there a couple people around my area seeling 17" ZR1s wrapped in 275s for good prices. So I just need to know what I should do...ditch the ugly flat 16" or get more power.

I'd say go with the wheels, the headers will give you more power but it really won't be a huge increase.

I'll be the first to say go with the headers. People won't be paying attention to the good looks when you are flying past them with more power.

wheels. You have tubulars, I dont think youre gonna get much more power. I think your car would be better off with wheels.

I think at this stage.. the wheels. They will make a great difference in appearance, and while I understand you are more of a performance kind of guy, a good set of wheels really makes a car look great, and you could always make it your last appearance mod.

There not anything difference, I dont see why so many think there that much better....getting headers would show much better improvement then one would think. But im gona get wheels first i guess.
