Just after some thoughts on this. Early next year it will once again be time to trade my company car. I may have enough in the kitty to spring for a couple of extra's. :D I will get the premium sound. I was also looking at the leather seats and noticed that the 18" wheels were about the same price.

Which would you get & why?

Personally, I have ordered mine with prem sd and the std 17s, and have ordered 19s to go on as soon as I take delivery. I do not like leather in cars in Australia, cos it's always crappy on a 5 yr old car unless it has been garaged 24/7.

Like I said, it's personal...

I have leather and 17's ... wouldn't have it any other way. :o

The leather is beautiful and protected by tint and a lot of time in the garage. The replacement cost of the rubber on the 17's is much less than the replacement cost for larger diameter wheels.

Ive got both, but whould have chosen the leather over the wheels - if id had to

Thanks so far. I can't get aftermarket stuff of any kind due the deal my company has going. Also replacement of rubber is not an issue as my cars do not stay with us for long before changeover. :o I am also thinking what add-ons will improve short term resale.

If you have the spare cash, get a sunroof instead of the wheels

I got the leather and roof and I am very glad I did

Hi Cvanxr,

If you want resale get leather or the sunroof, two of the most desirable options to buyers l found.

If you want looks then the 18's are the ducks guts

... are the ducks guts

Slightly off-topic here (sorry, go figure?) but, I've never understood that saying "Duck's guts"?

What exactly is sooo good about the intestines of a duck ... can't be looks, surely?

Anyone ...

Leather.

get the leather, you can always change the wheels later. whereas leather is heaps more to get aftermarket
