Default LT's/other mod ?

i have a 98 z and i bought some jet hot LT's (not installed yet). well the car is mostly stock except for magnaflow catback 3 in cutout, lid and suspenstion work. i was planning on getting some 373 to replace the shitty 273s i have and i also wanted some new wheels. what would be more practical to do first cause i dont have the money to get it all done at once. im stationed at south carolina and i travel to Virginia whenever i get a chance if that makes any difference. any opinions would help, thanks.

I would say do the gears first as well as this would be a performance mod that would greatly improve the car. Adding wheels isn't always a performance thing unless your doing a track setup.
