Which aftermarket part should I get first?

I'm thinking about getting either wheels or a exhaust, which one should I get first and what model/brand?

if by wheels you mean rims then do you prefer visual aesthetics over sound? or are you looking at tires as well? different size from stock?

what is your goal? what are you planning on doing to your car? what is your budget?

and at the end of the day its what YOU like.

someone may like the nismo exhaust, others maybe the FI. or maybe ark. who knows.

tires? i'll tell you straight. re-11.

I would get wheels first. The car might run without an exhaust, but you're not going anywhere without some wheels

Its currently stock 370z black, with the sports package. I also should've clarified tires/rims. Rims is what I mean't though.

I would do CAI and CBE before anything else, go for some more performance gains. Tires, run the stockers until there done. It wont take long anyway. Wheels, the stock ones aren't too bad...and if you wait till you need tires too, you could go up to a 20"...

You still haven't said anything about your use of the car

Daily driver? Show car? Track beast?

Get an exhaust. Fast Intentions.

The Sport package Rays are phenomenal wheels. Most every other wheel you'll see people using on the Z is a downgrade in weight, strength, or both. Except the Nismo wheels. There are a few, but you'll have to pay to play.
