Question The "Totally useless: help me spend $$$ I don't have" thread.

Okay folks,

I am re-financing and cashing out to do some landscaping and misc. debt consolidation. If (and that's a big IF) there is $$$ left over, I might be able to convince my wife to let me get something for the car.

I was thinking one of the following (because I don't think I could get away with multiple):

Tires (maybe with wheels)
STi V7 seats
EDM's
STi takeoff struts + alignment
ALK or STi control arms
Prodrive mudflaps

hahahha... It's fun to dream.

Give me some suggestions and don't make them outrageously expensive.

Get some wheels and tires. I think that's a good buy.
What about suspension?

Yeah, those are my two top picks right now. I can't decide.

I don't like them because they are rigid.

Sway is already done. Brakes are probably as far as I will go (pads, SS lines, fluid). I'm thinkin' wheels. So the question then is...

USDM STi 10 spoke

or

JDM V7 STi split spoke

Although, if I could find those black/black STi V7 seats I would be all over them...

lol IMHO I like the 10 spoke. But the V7 wheels on bug eyes look good.
