Default Rims or Exhaust? Which should I do

I currently have the chrome Firehawk 17x9 wheels on my car. I am kinda unsure about them but I believe this may be because of the 4x4 wheel gap. I will lower the car in the future when I have the funds.
But I really want a full exhaust on my car. I could sell the wheels and the money will cover most of the cost for the exhaust, and then just go back to my stock WS6 wheels.
So my question is, should I sell the rims and use the money to buy a full exhaust, or just keep the wheels and get exhaust when I have the money?

That is another thing. I had the Firehawk wheels before I found this site. Being on this site I have seen several cars that I like the wheels better than mine.

id go for exhaust. but im a performance kind of guy. i think the stock wheels on all of the ws6' and ss' look great with these cars. especially if they are chromes. plus once you get full exhaust. you get to pick out what cam you want!

wait woah. your poll options are pretty much the same...

edit:
nevermind i mis read the question. idk if the firehawk wheels are chrome. or if the ws6 wheels are either. keep the chrome ones. if not hell keep em both and save for exhaust. or just sell two ws6 wheels. and keep two so youll be able to throw better rubber on the back if you race.

The stock wheels are polished? I believe that is correct for the 2002 models

I would keep the wheels and save up for exhaust. Your rims will look better when lowered, and you can do exhaust very cheap if you want to. There will always be better rims, but not many of us can drop $3,000 for CCW's or Fikse's. Love what you have and you won't be broke all of the time buying parts like I am, lol.

IMO,
Neither, Shocks & Lowering springs first, then exhaust and finally wheels.

Depends on how much you like the wheels and if you would be replacing them for something that you think is better in the future.

Stop being a girl and get the exhaust. I have spent many a dollar on my car and still have the stock ws6 wheels.

Now, talk about some bogarts or CCWs.... Different story.

If you have firehawk wheels then obviously get the exhaust. Firehawk wheels are the nicest wheels that came on stock trans ams man!
