uprev or wheel first?

[sojirovskensi]

My Mods so far are:
KW V3, HKS exhaust, AEM intake, berk HFC.

For the next mod, I am thinking either uprev or volk TE37 // CE28N.

What should I do first? I've heard a lot of great stuff from uprev so I am leaning toward to it more, but whenever I see my dropped car with stock rim, it makes me sad.

Need to find an answer, help me guys!

*edit
I need 2 months to save $$ for volk and I have money to do uprev right away
If I don't do the uprev, I can probably buy volk before the end of July

rims or

Well there is a huge gap in price, but if you got the money go for some good wheels.

Yea you're talking about 500-600 for up rev, or +4K wheel/tire combo for volks. I'm sure you can afford both if you're buying volks.

Oil cooler

Go before show! (Uprev, in case that wasn't clear)

+1 on Oil Cooler + Tune!
You really don't need new rims only for looks honestly.
The sports package rims are good for now.
When you are shopping for rims keep in mind that weight is more important than looks.

Big difference in price. But how is your A/F ratios? That's very important. Also with wheels your going to need to lower the car if already haven't. Which in return you might also need and alignment kit. Just some perspective.

I choose rims. The uprev tune is not even worth it.

How to you come to that statement? If you have three of the basic NA mods as the OP has most likely your A/F ratios are going to be running a little lean. So that really needs to be taken care of. A tune is maybe around $600-650 on avg. We pay nearly that and some on the basic mods.

I got 20whp out of my tune alone. How is that not worth it combined with better A/F ratios. It probably took two of my breather mods to equal that. Which would be more than a tune. Now given not all are gong to get this much whp all the time. But on avg at least 10. In which you get the most out of your mods. And also correct the A/F which is a win win.

Get both. Save some money and don't get TEs. Get some Forgestars or some Varrstoens, then you can get the tune, too. Probably even have enough money left over to get a BBK.

I wish I had gone this route. But at this point I would lose too much money.

I got wheels before uprev & oil cooler.

Although an oil cooler is going to be next for me.

[Synack]

Don't be like GTM and do all go and NO SHOW. Lol. Watch vid.

[370Z JT]

I'd rather be all go and no show any day of the week.

I'm sure a tune is all beneficial to the mods currently on the OP's car, but remember to add a couple hundred dollars to have an authorized uprev tuner shop do the dyno tune. More time and money wasted to make appointments and getting there. Just from reading threads in the past on this forum, the gains just doesn't justify the cost of getting the tune.

All the tune does is balances out the a/f ratio and nothing else really. No launch control, no VVEL modifiers, no raising the rev limiter, etc. If you got the money to spend, feel free to get the tune. But if you want to chose one over another, get the rims first. Rims add a "wow" factor to your sports car. It's not like you go out racing every weekend, line up with other cars on the streets like you've got something to prove, or redline through every stop light, do you?

Basic bolt ons will change the a/f ratio, but it's not like your motor is going to blow up or anything like that without the tune. Get some nice rims.
