Body Kit or Wheels?

I've got some cash saved up. Body Kit or Wheels? What do you guys think? I was thinking about a wings west kit, but can you still get them since the company is going through that transition right now?

get wheels. cars that sit stock with wheels look 1,000,000,000,000,000% better then cars with body kits and stock wheels.

Definitely get the wheels first.
1-They will look better as focusboy0383 said.
2-They will be a lot less expensive when you think about buying the body kit, getting it painted, and maybe getting it professionally installed. Definitely a better bargain for the wheels.
3-Your car's handling will be greatly improved. You will be able to enjoy and explore the limits of your car better with the wheels.
4-Again, body kits look tacky without better, bigger wheels. IMO.

I'm looking at the 17" Motegi MR7 wheels, but I'm a little confused about the bolt pattern. Now, I know our pattern is 4x108, but some websites say these wheels will fit the Focus, and other sites say they won't. Some say the bolt pattern in 4x100. Do they make same size wheels (17") in different bolt patterns? I thought all the available bolt patterns came on the same wheel.

they make all wheels with different bolt patterns because no vehicle model is the same

4x100 will fit the ZX3...

^What?

I've never heard of a 4 X 100 fitting. It's only 4 X 108.

i'm going to have to agree with ZX3_Chick. i'm not quite sure how you would get wheels with holes drilled at 100mm from the hub to fit. our wheels are 108mm.
