Which direction to go with modding!

I have saved up a little bit of money but have no idea which direction to go with my modding.

When I purchased my car the stock rims already had the typical scuffs around the outside from when the previous owner had hit a curve or two. Not too many people even notice it but it bothers me from time to time and I know that eventually I want to replace them with a nicer setup.

I dont really plan on taking my car to the track or anything(at least anytime soon) because my car is my daily driver. That being said, I do enjoy having a quick daily driver that I can open up every now and then. My current mods are in my sig so what would you do? Any opinions will be appreciated.

option 1: ottp stage 2 or zzp stage 3

option 2: new rims (Im thinking either msr 045's in black with the polished lip or motegi sp5's in black with polished lip)

the zzp from what i've read and seen puts out more power. I was in a similar situation that your in and it ended up with me going with the zzp stage 3 kit. I would suggest not going lower than a 2.8 pully and getting the stage 2 belt instead of the pully tensioner and getting the upgraded stage 3 front mount. All in all you should be around 260-270 whp. My car is also my daily driver (i use 93 octane) and around tower i get about 27 mpg highway 35ish but then again im also from the northeast so you'll prolly see a bit different numbers.

Hopefully you'll reach a decision soon. hope this helps.

did you get the tensioner pulley when you purchased the stage 3 from zzp? I already have the stage 2 belt since my car already is GM stage 2 but they said that I should prob get the tensioner pulley because the kit may cause some belt slip without it.
