Are subtle upgrades such as lighter tires and exhaust worth the money?

I actually plan on going to a tire shop if I ever decide on getting on getting new rims. Do you guys have any recommendations of affordable rims? Preferably Gun Metal Grey/Black and a Japanese brand. I also been browsing around and came across some exhausts on Ebay for an affordable price. Will do more research on those because I don't want my car to sound raspy and ricey.

The cheapest quality wheel you can get for your sedan that fits properly is a set of OEM G35 Rays. A set in good shape will cost less than a new set of cheapo garbage. Or a set in fair shape plus fresh powder coat will be the same as some new junk. I'll post pics in a bit.

Ebay exhaust

It will sound like chit if you go that route. You can not get a cheap good sounding exhaust for the VHR unless you score a deal on a used set. And to top it off there are limited options for the sedan

I never said cheap. I said more affordable. I saw an Invidia Q300 up for sale that is more affordable compared to ARK or Magnaflow. I am also considering some Enkei Phoenix rims that are more affordable than the RPF1, but are no where cheap.

No, it's cheap

It is very clear you are going for the lowest priced crap, not stuff that actually works for our cars

for example, did you even look at the available sizes for the Enkei Phoenix?

You are going to end up out whatever amount of money and have a car that is worse the crap because you clearly are either too lazy or too cheap to do things right. You are buying parts JUST TO BUY PARTS

THOSE ******* WHEELS MAX OUT AT 18X8

Yeap, grab a set of SSR wheels. If you want to splurge, get a set of Forgelines. Fleabay only has cheap junk. Save up and get what you want. If you like HKS, get that.
