What do you guys think about these wheels from the white car going on to the 2016? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/5/50c4a4a6809f466786e97c18937d58d3d1ef7670.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/9/9b4cc3fd64f13ed397b421daaeb886cca38c91aa.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/4/48fc76afbf9761875fe9f5fb59b49b19f935a3b4.jpeg) ---

I saw Dustin has a few of the New Body Gems with the 5 Spoke wheels and they look good in my opinion. I figured the All Black 5 Spoke wheels on my white car are OK (I took them off my Blue 2002) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/5/58a5152dba5764feadcb856d482ee4970b68d2c3.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/e/ef4180b2e3cdd4fa7691c9c63076cf0220d3905c.jpeg) but if I had to buy wheels for the white car over again I would do the Black on White wheels like my 2013 and Mikes car. ---

Some crude photoshops to help your decision. Keep in mind the swapped wheels are picking up some additional sidewall in the photo from the original tire. ![48fc76afbf9761875fe9f5fb59b49b19f935a3b5](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/d/d9f53eb450f83832a97b12cddba88224a58787f9.jpeg) ![48fc76afbf9761875fe9f5fb59b49b19f935a3b5](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/c/c3227b3c8ad42a92ece7a813fdd784824f151c9f.jpeg) ---

I vote swap! They look much better when both gems are parked side by side. ---

Swap it. Those stock ones are silly. ---

Well scratch that Idea. The stock 2008 gem uses 4x100 the new Gem uses a larger 4 lug pattern ---

I was driving the Gem yesterday and I looked at the dash and the way the steering wheel was coming out of the dash made me think” I wonder if the steering wheel is adjustable” well what do you know!!! . ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/0/05d65cdb54991edce147f5638e434127195237eb.jpeg) I think I’m a pretty observant person but some how this awesome feature some how flew right by me Loving It! ---

And another discovery. The steering column Locks, yup just like a real car you can turn the wheel and lock it. I really like this feature. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/b/b28c292a2a114cfe6117f77658ffa0ca245fa590.jpeg) ---

Here are some pics of the Rail System I was talking about. Check out how you can adjust the position of the Mirror. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/3/32d2d2047db1da4239dd694fc9d2d3e8af619ef8.jpeg) You simply loosen up the star bolt and slide it where ever you want. I can see this coming in handy when and if I mount a light bar on the roof. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/4/427240fa18c72a5b6a76b0af3cdde5a035c05820.jpeg) Another example you can adjust where you want or need the grab handles ---

Before I go threw the owner’s Manuel anyone have a guess at what this is? Looks like a standard window defroster switch BUT the windows have no heater elements in them and when you switch it on No fan comes or nothin seems to do anything. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/f/f96b1f5752293273067c703d94e5a1954f5692ec.jpeg) ---

I immediately want to add a rail system to my GEM now. I don’t have a reason yet mind you, but I want this. ---

Lol it says it’s a window heater. But you can’t see any heating element lines in the window, cool. Another discovery. It has a Kw Per Mile gauge. Tell you how many Kw you have used along with a Trip meter ---

OOOkay. From what I can tell the asian market has the snakes option on the right hand drive versions. I believe they just use the same button for “window heat” in the US. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GD6qtc2_AQA/maxresdefault.jpg) ](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GD6qtc2_AQA/maxresdefault.jpg) ---

The Trunk simply unbolted and then you have this plastic panel that covers the battery’s ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/2/209ac3067f078fb88fa298500ad0d162a910ca71.jpeg) ---
