Cant decide!

hey guys, I cant decide on what to get first. I haven't done anything to the outside of my truck yet, nor the inside, except or tenting my widows. I dont know which to get first.
1.) 305/or 315'sR16 pro comp xterrains and the helo maxx 8's. And a leveling kit. ( looks better )
2.) Smarty (faster )
3.) or an afe air intake. (better mpg.)

What do ya'll think! i dont have that much money so i would diffentaly have to save for the tires and rims but hey it would look sweet!!

Smarty. Looks are for pretty boys, performance is for men.

Don't get the Helo's, all I need is another guy with them....lol. Seriously though, if you get tires don't get the X-terrains if you don't want to buy tires in 6 months. They are great tires but get sorry mileage. Plus they aren't cheap. Also, I think you would be better off with a BHAF and a Smarty. The afe is nice but won't really get you better mileage.

a BHAF (big honking air filter, runs about $40-70 depending where you get it) and the smarty.

also, get the xtreme all terrains, the x-terrains will wear out fast. i have over 20k on mine and the fronts still look brand new...the rears however...a bit different, torque has a funny effect on tires.

I'm running toyo a/t's on the rear and they've been holding to a lot of abuse over the last 17k+ I don't think I'll have to change them out for a couple more years or so.
