i am about to get a velside kit installed. After that i will only have enough for rims or header. Right now i have hubcaps.
i got a good deal for both. 18" nice looking rims for $500(rims only). Header hand made for $400 installed. which one should i get ?

Like everyone else, I'd say go for the rims first, but they're going to cost you considerably more than a header, because low profile tires for 18" rims are expensive! You'll probably end up paying close to another $500 for some mediocre tires for your car, and even more if you want some high end tires. If you've only got the $500 now, I'd say save it for either an engine swap eventually if you really want performance, or save the money and get rims once you've got the money to buy tires for them too. Realistically, your ST might gain 5 horsepower max from a header, but it may be even less than that, and chances are that you're not going to feel a large increase throughout your entire powerband.
