I'm going to use some of my year end bonus on my car. I was thinking of possibly getting some new wheels. Haven't found the perfect ones yet.
Also considering:

-Exhaust. Replace the mufflers with something a little louder.

-3-bar MAP sensor. Can this be used with the factory tune? Or is it only compatible with an aftermarket tune?

- Catted downpipes.

If I don't go with new wheels which of the above would you recommend?

3BAR can only be used with a tune. A $60 part.

If you already have Torrie's tune, I'd get some catted downpipes, 3BAR, and get an updated tune. Then explore a catback option. I went with the Corsa and spent the $1300 because I wanted only the best.

I'm watching this thread! I also want new wheels for my car but can't find anything!!! I have the Silver Metallic and think a nice 5 or 7 spoke wheel in gloss black would look great! But no gloss black wheels anywhere - the ones I found have a silver machine surface somewhere on the wheel.
Lastly, you do not ever need a 3-bar map EVEN with a tune! 3-bar maps are for much more boost than the 12-15 lbs, it's more like around 18+ you need a 3-bar.

Check this link I just had them installed about an hour ago. These are 19, but I saw plenty of dark grey, black and 20" designs on tirerack.com Avarus Av-9 and Pirelli Cintaurato P7 All Season plus $250/each from tirerack.com

Cintaurato P7 received above average ratings in snow, wet, ice, comfort, low noise, overall handling, cornering and tread wear ratings. The only have about 10 miles on them but I will post long term reviews in a few months.

Again these are 19's but I am sure you can find decent 20" wheels n their site. I ordered them online Christmas day and arrived yesterday.
