What kind of rims are you thinking about? It might be possible to buy some slightly cheaper rims, and have a little extra money for exhaust.

I say rims.... for they work for you all the time by looking good ..... whereas exaust only works for you half the time, when the car is on. Therefore by my calculations..... RIMS! Sorry im tired

What kind of rims are you talking about? If they're close to the price of the exhaust, I'll assume they are 15" and you're using the existing tires. If that is the case, I think you'd be making a mistake spending your cash on them. If your funds are currently limited, you're likely compromising on the rims and you'll want to upgrade to 18" later. Get the exhaust now and save for the rims you really want later.

Rims totally transform the way a car looks, sets it apart. Get rims! I personally don't like seeing a car with exhaust and stock hubcaps, just ruins it IMO.
