We can't decide for you. You need to think about what you want.

A smoother engine experience or a nicer appearance and/or handling.

Stage 1 OFT was not worth it IMO. Pair it with a header though and then I would say totally worth it.

From my experience, a nice set of tires (wheels too I guess if necessary) make the single biggest change in vehicle characteristics. So, skip both wheels or OFT and buy a nice set of tires?
