Default need help deciding between 2 mods ?

I need help deciding between 2 mods that i want to do but can only do 1.This i plan to do come august when i'll have the funds.
Either get extended hard bags as well as the rear facia and painted to match the bike color scheme or new front wheel probably fatdaddy 50 spoke 21's chrome with black spokes.Unfortunately i can only do one of these mods.Could use the opinions/suggestions as to what would be the best mod i could do for my bike.thanks

agreed, if you're going to do wheels, do them when you need a tire change or you're throwing money away. my vote goes for bags. bike looks great as is though.

the extended bags look cool, but don't they tend to get torn up if you lean over going through a curve or sharp turn? just curious.
