Rims upgrade ?!
My New CLK 320 are coming soon, and I talked to the dealer about upgrade the original rim ( 5 spoke style , Canada version..so urgly and conservative which is the only one choice in Toronto Canada). they said that they buy back 4 rims for $800 CND and if I upgrade to the classic European style ( 5 spoke but more racing style) , I need to pay $ 865 more to trade off the origianal rims. Both rims are 16 " but I can use the tire back on the upgrade rims.. my question is ..... is that a fair deal ?????
I need some suggestion......

No, it is not a fair deal AT ALL. Buy back your original stock wheels for $800 and pay another $865, that is an absolute rip off.
If both are just ordinary MB wheels and both are 16", you should ask them to swap it for you for free. I am very sure they can do something about it. Why bother trading a set of 16" for another set of 16" only because of the minor cosmetic difference?
If I were you....I will either trade in your stock wheels for some 17" or 18" AMG OR keep the stock wheels and buy some aftermarket 18s" later.
