Tires now? Tires/Rims later? I can get new tires for around 500 bucks now for my factory aluminum 16" rims...OR...
I can wait a few months and get new rims (17") and tires, for around a grand, maybe a bit less.
What would you do?
The tires are in pretty poor shape, but not showing cords. And I live like 3 blocks from where I work, so I put next to no miles on the car.
I will probably put Vette rims on, leaning towards the polished Z06 rims. Possibly the chrome C5 rims. Maybe SS rims.
Thoughts?

HAH if only it was that simple. My credit card is basically maxed, that's why if I wait a few months I should be able to afford both. After I chip away at my current debt a bit lol!

plus the 16s are just too thin even with good tires imo.

On the other hand, if I did just get tires, and keep my stock rims. I could then spend a little money on performance mods. Plus I need a new front airdam. Tough decision

You always get a joker like this. 
You can always look for a set of used later to save money. If you need tires because its a safety thing then get tires. You can always upgrade later. I'll be selling my chrome zr1's when I buy a set of Fikse's w/ tires. Just an example of a deal you can find if you look good enough. My wheels are OEM Chrome ZR1's not cheap knock offs and I'm not the only person who upgrades and sells his old stuff. Good knock off ZR1's are around 225 a peice. Mine will sell pro'lly for 550-600 for wheels and tires. Again this is just an example of what you can find.
