Default Debating on what to purchase

Hey guys I basically now saved about $2,000 and now debating on wht to purchase, should I go for New Wheels (Vossen in mind) or Fly Audio Unit?

What do you guys think would be the bigger impact or bang for my money? I guess im looking at it as an investment stand point if one day I decided to Sell.

neither one of them are very good investments, but if your going to sell down the line, the rims would give you a better return. you could put the stock rims back on and sell the vossens separately and get more money than selling a car with the fly audio unit installed

If you had to spen time to save $2K, leave it in thee bank.
Interest rates are going to go up and taxes are going to skyrocket.

For resale the Fly audio unit would be better. Someone wanting to buy the car would look at the rims and if its not their style thell be turned out. People are very weird when it come to rims. Thats just my opinion. If im putting rims on a car i wanna put the onces i think looks good not someone else.
