rims and tires will really help--other then that looks great. THat small spoler is so much better then that oversized POS on the SS Is it a auto or 5 speed?

Can you show what the area that would normally have an armrest looks like? Thanks!

Its a base. And yep, I know 4x100mm bolt pattern, all wheels I posted are available to fit my car.

I don't have a armrest, I have a 5 speed. Wish it did though, but at least I can hold on to the gear shift

What dealer did you get yours from rm25x?

I went to James-Martin in downtown Detroit, all the have are sedans right now...but lots of em. The salesman asked me if I wanted to take one on a test drive, but I told him I'd wait for the SS's.

Al Serra in Grand Blanc is the ONLY dealership I will deal with. They are the biggest for a reason. It was the only 5 speed coupe they had at the time, I told them thats the only thing I care about.

Check out www.alserra.com and you can see what ones they have in stock at the time.

I am just going to go 16" so I can still have some tire sidewall for all these great Michigan roads.

Probably add some lowering springs too if the look isn't just quite right. I don't want to do too much since its a lease though, but anything that makes it look better and more fun to drive is good to me. Hey.... autocross season starts soon...... hmmmmmm.......

Actually on my ION3, the armrest came with it standard. I also have a 5 speed, and I can tel you, you don't want the armrest with a 5 speed. Whenever you go to shift into 2nd, 4th or reverse, you'd bash your elbow into the armrest if you didn't raise your elbow up a certain angle. Just yesterday I took out the armrest and replaced it with the pocket console that is available on the ION 1's. It's so much better because now I can shift the way I was meant to. Also, since I never used my armrest, I don't miss it.
