What does your car have now? Steel wheels? Which radio do you have? Do you need MP3 capability?? What's your situation like?

your 06 SE has hubcaps? SE's come stock with alloys.. 0_o

plus, what are you more into? tunes or looks? and not sure how to compare the two since there is such a price difference between them..

Pretty sure that the Gen 5 & 5.5 SE has hubcaps if it's an I4.

Wheels, for sure. The headunit can wait. For around $800 you're probably limiting yourself in your choice of rims, though. I'd save a few hundred dollars more and get some nice 19" wheels.
