Question Buying a SS/SC

I'm about to buy a SS/SC and got a few questions..

1-When taking the recaro package, do you lose the heating seats found in the regular leather ones?

2-For winter... what is the minimum size for steelies? 17? 16??? where do find them? only at the dealer(5x110 is rare!)... how much? My dealer did not seem to know for sure... he only told me : it will cost you a lot!

Thx!

looking forward to change my accord for a GM

1) It doesn't matter what seats you get, whether you get the Recaros or the leather with inserts, you cannot get heated leather seats on the SS/SC. (Yes, it's dumb, but that's the way it is.)

2) 16" is the minimum, look around, tire shops have them. TireRack stocks them. You can use wheels from the SAAB 9-3, Cadillac Catera, newest generation Malibu, Pontiac G6, Chevrolet HHR, Pontiac Pursuit/G5, Saturn L-series, and Saturn Ion Redline...so check ebay, that's where I got my G6 wheels - $65(US) each.
