I seriously doubt you'd get a higher price with rims and tint.

Adding aftermarket parts will not increase the value of your car unless its something rare or unless it is exactly what the buyer is looking for and don't mind paying for more. Corollas are common (unless you have one that I'm thinking of that isn't) and they are everywhere. Buyer can easily look elsewhere.

aside from whats already been said, i suppose a tint with a lifetime warranty, and perhaps some racing rims (again if thats what the buyer is looking for) might help, but not so much... as much as corollas rock, theyre still corollas

Unless you are restoring a classic car, you aren't going to add parts to it and sell for more money. Consider modding a car a hobby - there isn't a financial gain.

you will lose money modding the car. Because even with the rims and tires, people won't want to pay full price added on when they buy the car.

Clean the car up as best as you can, leave it stock

As others have said, it might raise the price up a very slight bit, but theres no way you would get that money back.
