tuner or rims..?
 
so ive been debating which one to get for a couple days..either the SCT X- CAL or FR500 18's..theres a big price difference which isnt really the concern for me..im just getting rims for looks and thats pretty much it and the tuner im leaning towards b/c i got a v6 and the acceleration on it is killing me i cant take how it slacks..so any input would be great..also how easy is the tuner to operate..? ive never used one so im looking for how it works and easy to get used to ya know? thanks in advance guys

Buy wheels.

A tuner isnt going to turn your V6 into a speed machine.

Yeah wheels for sure, a tuner will be a complete waste especially if your v6 is all stock.

How about gears before both?
that oughta handle the acceleration problem a little.

It depends on what year v6 car he has. If its an 05+ a CAI/Tuner is a sweet upgrade.

yeah, i would say rims unless you have a 2005+. gears are suppose to be good too. might be cheaper than rims

i gotta 99, and i was looking into gears but ppl were saying to just get a 8.8 rear end along wit the gears b/c the gears wouldnt do much right now? im not sure thats what they should in another thread..but im leaning towards saving more for the rimss

gears with t-lock. Then wheels (as the new gears will help to turn them). Then supercharger from a supercoupe.

IMHO power adders over appearance when it comes to money

He has a split port motors and the supercoupe blower is garbage.
