So recently I installed the FSWERKs intake, and now don't know what to do. I've been thinking about COBB Ap but not sure, because I wanna get rims but I don't want to much wheel gap with the rims. The other things is I don't wanna order coils yet. What should I do? any suggest

Welcome, those are some hard choices. At the end of the day you need to ask yourself which mods will make you the happiest? More power or a new set of wheels? If you are happy with the power as I am, get yourself a new set of wheels and put a smile on your face. Maybe the wheels you end up going with might not look so bad with the wheel gap that can be addressed later.

I agree with this. Not to mention you may find some wheels that are not bad at all.

If you enjoy the power as is, I'd throw some new shoes on the beast.

New wheels are ok if you are looking for better performance out of the stock car make sure your new wheels are lighter than the heavy 22lb stock wheels or they better have such a cool factor you don't mind the car seeming less peppy with heavier wheels.. Can't go much more than stock size as maybe a 215/45/17 will fit without rubbing but anything may rub and if you go smaller gap will stay the same or get wider.. Coilover are a chuck of change for a good pair but worth it if you want to adjust the height of the car to allow different wheels (Seasonal swap summer to winter) though you don't say if you looking at new tires too so I may be off the mark.. The Cobb AP is a great tool to get the most out of you power train over the stock tune and it can be adjusted as you add things to yuor car like you intake you have and exhaust if you go that way. My tip on that is since you have a FS intake get the Cobb ap from them when you are ready as they let you use Cobb off the shelf tunes as well as FSWERKS tunes.. win win i think... I know it didn;t spell out what you should getfirst but I personally got the AP First (well right after I got snow ties for it so there ya go) Get the Wheels ;) LOL

If you purchase 17x7" wheels, go with 205/45-17 tires. They fill the gap a whole 10mm (car almost looks lowered. I went with 17x7.5" wheels and went with 215/40-17s and my tire fill the wheel gap an additional 4mm. When my 190 pound frame gets in the car, it lowers another .5" (see my exhaust video.... lol). I would go for the Cobb AP before anything else, personally. It made almost 10 hp and 43 pft at the wheels over stock on my car. That's torque you can feel seriously!

I would say wheels. I dont intend on racing mine (much) but Personally I would do 18x8.5 or 17x9. Granted these will probably be hard to find, you will need to know what you're doing to choose the correct offset and you will need a wider tire unless you like the stretched look. If you want to look lower but dont want to do that 18's are the ticket. I personally want some custom offset 17x9 Fifteen52 wheels in white on mine and eventually air ride.
