Is the $470 the standalone price for the polished wheels? If so, why wouldn't you just get the painted rims to begin with and then order the polished rims later? The painted rims would basically be free spares at that point. (I'd get them re-painted black)

Ok, $470 for the upgrade, I have added that to my cost sheet...now, does anyone know if the systems have been updated yet, so we can alter our orders? I can run by there today and do that, if someone can post up...and I would hope to get an updated print out afterwards...

I really wanted the polished wheels, so this is great to be able to get them.
But I have a couple of questions now.
First what does the midnight silver wheels look like?
I don't think I've seen a picture of them yet.
I ordered beige interior and victory red exterior, so I don't think black wheels would look very good with that combo.
Second, we are really not getting much in the RS package anymore.
The headlights and some trim stuff. I'm begining to wonder if the headlights
are worth $1200.

Still waiting for someone to say they were able to alter their order, and not have to cancel and resubmit....

Does anyone know if the midnight silver color is on any of the other GM wheels? Is that the basic silver color of GM wheels, or is the midnight silver something new?

Thanks for the updates....and the info on the wheels....
You think if GM offered to change this item, and allow these wheels, the system would have been updated by now....what is taking so long? How hard can it be?

So were looking at $1670 to get the RS package with polished wheels.
Polished wheels were a must for me when I ordered the car so I dropped the RS package. As the SS2 comes with 20's already, it seemed excessive to me to pay $1200 for lights and painted moldings.
Does anyone else think this is excessive or am I just cheap?

it's your money to spend, so only you can say if its worth it.
the HID headlights are not cheap, but they are awesome. Figure out the difference in your monthly payments. It's not going to make a huge difference in that check you'd write every month.

i personally would get a 1SS with the RS package before i got a 2SS without the RS package (if i can not afford the 2SS/RS which i likely can not), but that's just me. i think the HID's make the front end of the car...
i just realized i'm getting a black one so the moldings with the RS package is one more thing that is useless to me. maybe a black RS will have gloss moldings as opposed to flat?

21" Black Wheels
I ordered my black/black 2SS yesterday and ordered the RS package. I also added the 21" black wheels for $470. I know you can do a polished 20" too for the same amount. My dealer contact told me the order can be changed for up to 2 more months until they start getting the parts ready to build, but I think I'll be keeping it the same. Just wanted to share.
