If its not going to be long i would just get the kit first. But if you dont plan on getting one for a while, just get the rims first.

Then before I could paint my kit I got a good deal on rims that I couldn't pass up. So I picked up the rims & then later painted my kit.

Get rims first. Specially since you have a GT so you'll be rolling on LAME GT rims or LAME hubbies. At least the GTS can pass as decent at a glance. Get rims first.
