Default what kinda rims are these? & wood console question.

can you get the center console in a black finish instead of wood in '07 or is that only optional in the '09 model?

Where's the rims?

About the grey wood, only available on 2009 cars, and it doesn't fit on 06-08 models.

also im confused about how they say the '08 has revised seatback to give more rear leg room, but in all the specs im searched, they all say 06-09 have 30.6" legroom.?

Same claim of "'09's with revised steering and suspension." I have yet to hear anyone make a direct comparison and claim on improvements.
