I have both and I gotta say do the wheels first. They are generally more expensive and you have the cash so pull the trigger.

As far as apes go, really consider going taller on the apes, 14 or maybe 16. I've had my 12.5s for 2 years and love them, but I have a set of 16s about to go on. So make sure if you only want to do it once.

I say apes first.
Comfort outweighs looks.

Also, how worn are your tires?
No need (in my book) to replace wheels until you need new tires...........

This was my thinking. At least 14" but probably more like 16".
