I personally went with "Go before Show" so I would have gotten the exhaust first. I'd rather have my car fast, before it looks fast. Just a personally opinion.

good point. i currently have four different tires on my car right now and the passenger side has a slow leak probably coming from corrosion around the bead of the rim.You can never go wrong with a good exhaust system to wake up the ls1 the only problem there is after purchase of the headers and exhaust now i have to pay my local shop to install the system cause i hear it pretty difficult to install headers on my car so that could be costly as well

Yeah, exhaust. Of course I'm a little biased. I can sell you exhaust, anything you want, but I'm a little more limited on RIMS and Tires.

Go for the exhaust, get LT's and the texas speed true duels if your state/ county allows it. You WONT regret that. As far as wheels go, just go do a google search for Tomzwheels.....he has great prices, fast shipping and a great reputation.
