What first, Wheels or System?

Hey, i don't know if this is the correct forum to put this,but oh well. Anyway, i have a 2002 Cadillac Deville, (black/black). What should I buy first, new 22" rims, (not sure exactly which ones yet, but i have an idea), or should I get a whole new sound system? (Alpine-HU,two 12" r type subs, amp) and then some new speakers and an amp for those. what do you think i should get first and why?

I think 22" rims are worthless. Plus, the first thing I do to any ride is upgrade sound, no matter how crappy the ride is.

I really love the look of 22's, but I also LOVE music!!! (I've been playing drums for 9 yrs.). i might go with 22's first, just because the exterior is what people see more, but i'm not sure yet, anymore suggestions?

Its all personal preference really. I lost the care of exterior appearance a while ago and music is more important to me than anything, even performance.

20s are more than enough for that car because you will have at least a little bit of tire instead of a rubber band around an expensive and normally overcompensating rim. I'd say save the money on the 2 inches and get both at the same time if possible.
