You do not need a cold air intake for your exhaust, but it will enhance the sound of your car. I would say go with the rims.

Why pay money for "stock" wheels. Let me put it this way, if you're buying aftermarket wheels, why not get something different that sets yourself apart from the crowd? I plastidipped my wheels because I was broke, but when the money piled up I bought something that looked nothing like the SS/RS rims. Compliments from aftermarket wheels > compliments from "stock" wheels painted black.

+1 exhaust.

How much are those rims? I'm interested in them, but price and questions about quality have me thinking very long on them.

Discounttire.com sells them for $165 a rim, all in all with tires and everything would cost around 800-1000

I had this same problem but i was like I can either get one mod or two so I got the CAI and axle back first and got my rims later.

I'm getting an itch. How do you figure that cheap though? What kind of tires? What size would you run with?

I would prefer to run a staggered set-up, but it doesn't look like that have 20x8's for the front.

Well like is it durable at least? Or will it start peeling off eventually.
