    Hmmm...new wheels or unitronic?

    10-31-2012 05:53 PM #1
    Random question! I have a mk4 gti and I've got some cash but I don't know what to get first! I've been looking at getting Unitronic for some extra power but I ran across some Klutch SL14 wheels and they are pretty dope...can anyone help?!

    I would go for uni if I was you. In my case the first mod that I did to my car was APR stage 1 and now I'm going stage 2, honestly this car looks pretty decent stock. Of course lowering it and getting some aftermarket rims would make it look 10 times better but I'd rather have more power over looks.

    A smart person would spend the cash on performance 1st. An insecure person looking for others to notice them will spend money on looks 1st.

    Choose wisely

    As everyone else is saying, performance > looks. I would go with Unitronic.

    If you get good tires on the wheels that's performance.
