Default Drop or Wheels first?

Since I am trying to not spend all of my money at one time in this economy, which would you do first?
My truck is in sig, and I plan on doing 20 or 22 inch wheels and a 4/6 drop.
Would you rather have a 4/6 drop with the crappy steelies or
20's/22's with the regular ride height and have it looked kinda lifted.

drop first, it will look decent with the stocks for now. not only that but you wont know what rim/ tire size you want till you see it lowered, then you'll have something to base your rim decision on.

Definitely drop first. I did wheels first, and wish i would've dropped it first. The rake seems worse with bigger wheels IMO.

I did the drop first and it was the right way to go. Wheels don't stand out anymore. I saw a chevy aveo the other day with 18's
Drop first and it will help you decide on wheels afterwards. And you feel different!
