Intake / Exhaust is usually the first two things on the list. Go for it.

It matters on the design of the wheels and the overall look you are going for on the car in question. Some 18 / 19 inch wheel combos look really good and some don't. Just do your research and see if you can find any pictures with similar F-Bodies with the wheels you're looking for already on them.
