C Coupe 18" rims in trade for 19" or 18" Twin Spoke

So my new car has the 18" standard coupe wheels (see below). I like them but wasn't able to change them when I ordered the car.

Looking for the twin spoke or the 19" ones (if you don't want the extra road noise and cost involved with the 18"s I don't mind).

I'd pay both shipping fees and even be willing to discussing putting some extra in for the 18".

Very generous of you to pay extra for something that comes at a premium cost.

I'd throw the 17" in the garage or EBay them, and get a set of 18" replicas off EBay as well. A full set of reps are less than $1k.

Typical 18" split 5 spoke rep on EBay

Haha, well I'm giving new wheels and tires, for what are likely used ones, and also am willing to take sedan ones for the 2017 Coupe ones which some people may prefer.

Plus say they wanted everything else Sport package had but not the larger rims (due to the ride quality or pricier tires, or w/e) or the car on the lot happened to have it but they didn't care. You'd be surprised (I downgraded my 20"s to 19"s in the past because of cost, noise, ride, etc)

Fair points, just reading through it the first time gave me a good chuckle.
