Remap as it will increase the pedal/smile ratio lol.
I would sooner spend money on mechanical aspects than a new set of alloys. Plus the standard alloys on a blob sti look pretty good imo.

Proper wheels and tyres, not Ditchfinders/stretched/stanced shi*e, will help to get any power down. You can map your car to the limit but not be able to use it.
Get the essentials first.

ill be fitting a decat downpipe on the day of mapping, already decatted the rest.. probably have an uprated fuel pump fitted too.
still undecided on which route to take, I may get wheels first then sell my standard sti ones and put the money towards a remap a little later on.

Wheels, Unless you are changing lots of parts the remap isn't that important.
