Default rims or engine?

hmm i have i little dilemma.....

i have the chance to buy a set of 98 gsr rims with tires for $450.
but i am saving up to buy a d16y8 for $800.

i have about $500 saved up, and i hate driving on steelies all the time.
what do you guys think? should i get the rims, or wait on the engine?

obvious: wait for the engine! If you have to ask, maybe you don't deserve the engine. just kidding, but seriously, roll on steelies and save for the engine.
