Default Which should I get next...Wheels or Coilovers?

Well, my J's racing N1 exhaust has been ordered and it should be here in a few weeks. I am ready to do my next modification. I was either wanting to get Bilstein Coilvers or some 18" wheels. If I get the wheels, I will have to wait a few months so I will have enough money for good, nice wheels. If I decide to get coilovers, I could order them now. Would it be better to get one before the other? What do you think I should get first....coilovers or wheels?
Thanks,
-Brandon

If it is looks you are more concerned about, then the rims, imo. If performance, then the coil overs. If performance and handling, the ultimate would be seat time and track time/instruction, again imo.

brandonb,

Coil overs buddy...I don't like the look of an S2000 with 18 inch wheels without a drop.

By they way...where did you order the exhaust from and how much?

The rims are good enough for the S2, so get the coilovers. Then later on get some lightweight 16" rims.

I am primarily going for looks, but functionality and performance plays a very big role. I do take my car to the track occasionally. I will order the X-Brace next, but that is not much. I was curious if there have been any problems with getting 18" wheels before coilovers or vice-versa. I will probably get the coilovers first, but I'm still not sure. I made the mistake of getting just springs on my last car and I regret it so I will definately get coilovers over springs.
Thanks,
-Brandon

I've heard about those. Could you give me some more info about them? What is the difference between those and the Bilsteins? How much are they?
Thanks,

My goodness but that's a sweet looking S2000! Love the clean look without the logo on the side. Those wheels are beautiful. Best looking red S2K I've ever seen.
