Enjoy...you will have lots of fun with this one. Like you, I would've kept mine forever too, and had planned on it until I got the chance to buy my dream car. As far as the rims go...your ride, do whatever makes you happy!

By the way did you check if the stg 1 is not already installed on your SS? As for the wheels, even if i've installed a new set of Rial Nogaro wheels on my car, i kept the original wheels.Yes I would have preferred to keep the SS wheels but the deal wasn't getting done like that. My car also had some paint work needed due to some vandals. The dealer was fair with the deal

Yeah no turbo upgrade installed. I prayed as I opened the hood lol. Also only went to 15psi to confirm. Dealer wants $898 installed, flashed out the door

I will post pics in a day or so but just wanted to say I'M NOW A PROUD OWNER OF BLACK ON BLACK 2008 HHR SS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The deal was awesome, it's exactly what I wanted and OMG the difference is crazy from the LT!
They're swapping my rims and Depo lights tomorrow and a few other things so I won't have it until tomorrow evening.
I CAN'T WAIT!!! I've wanted this since 2008!!
Now, I've gotta remind myself I can't afford the turbo upgrade right now! lol
Pics to come!

Boom!!
This thing is awsome! 1st time I've had a smile on my face because my car is fun to drive since I traded my Grand Prix years ago!
The pinstripes are coming off or going black or charcoal depending on if there is paint fade (which i'm sure there is) when the stripe guy removes them.
Bowties are going black.
SS logos are going reflective black.
Tinted tail lights are going back on
Thanks for all the positive comments and I'm glad I chose to keep my rims since I did have to choose.
I still can't believe I got my hands on one, full warranty and $55 below my old monthly pmt. I HAVE AN SS!! lol.
BTW: Their body guy REMOVED the typical dents from the corners of the beauty bar on the liftgate. These guys really treated me right.
