Spend on wheels or ECU?

I want to buy HRE P40s for my turbo but I also want a Giac program and spare ecu for my car. Right now, budget only allows for the wheels or the performance upgrade.

So where should I put my money? Oh, such a dilemma!

I am not into black wheels so that won't work for me.

I say wheels. The aftermarket options for tuning, exhaust, etc. are only going to get better. Especially with the GT2 coming out.

In the past, I have opted for performance upgrades to quickly. Always regretted it.

Turbos just look sic with awesome wheels.

Unfortunately, lowering my car is not an option. Besides, I don't mind the stock suspension, for now.
