Default Extra cash...what to do?

I just sold a set of rims from my old car, so I have some extra cash. My question is, should I put that towards the rims I want to get, or should I get some other stuff I want, like CF hood, and VRD fogs, and hold off on the rims until spring? I would just end up taking them off in a month or so because of the cold weather and snow. Boo! This is how my car stands now:

IMO a CF hood would look great on your car. I'd hold off on the rims until spring if you know you'll have more money saved for those when the time arises. With the OEM lip kit installed, i believe it takes a bit of modding to get the VRD fogs to fit, but nevertheless that's the route I'd go then get rims in spring.

I like nauticac's plan. What wheels are you looking to get?

well....if you find a good deal on rims jump on them. IMO if you have to cut you bumper i wouldnt get the fogs, or at least think twice about them.
