Lol, I was also going to comment that the wheels aren't my taste but decided to hold back... but since everyone mentioned it... lol.
On a serious note, if it's what you like, then stick with it. I know I had mixed tastes on my rims and I know for sure my next set will have mixed tastes.
I know you asked what we would do, but it's a tough question to answer. It can vary a lot depending on goals.
Performance goals: COBB accessport or short shifter. Exhaust/intake are good if you want sound but performance gains are minimal.
Appearance: depends on tastes... body kit maybe? MS kit is my preference.
Mixed gains: Coilovers or springs/shocks for lowered, aggressive look and better handling.

All those are replicas and probably wont fit without some work... I dont know about those specifically, but unless you know it's going to fit or know you can afford to get it to fit, I wouldn't bother. A clean looking stock car is much better than a car with a poor body kit fitment.
Those will also require painting. Keep it stock if you're not able to match the paint and have it painted properly.

Well might as well give him the most referred site just to get him exposed to the sticker shock of authentic parts, just remember the part is just the beginning. Then comes shipping, fit and paint. Good luck, japanparts.com

I'm gonna agree with some of the other posts go with clear corners... I have a SS too and putting clear corners on made more difference than I would have guessed. They look great on that color.
Plus not much saving up necessary. Got mine off Mazmart for $60... If they are sold out I think rx7.com has some too. Both JDM
