Wheels trade-in?

As the days get nearer to my S550 sitting in my garage, I've been weighing the different 20" rims I plan to put on it. One thing is for sure, however: I won't need the 18" wheels that come with it.

Question: Do dealers typically offer a $$ credit for leaving the old wheels behind? I don't know whether the new wheels will be part of the lease or not, but I'd prefer to avoid the hassle of storing/selling the old wheels.

...and if it matters, I opted for the 18" 5-spoke wheels.

Thanks!

Hey...you know what? The OEM wheels and tires will sell. Most custom tire shops will give you some kind of credit towards the purchase of the customs from them. There is a big market fot the upscale OEM;s especially the AMG rims. Depending on what tires you get, I might be interested if all the specs are the same or close for my W220 S500.

The dealer will give you next to nothing for the wheels.
I'd keep them and offer them in the classifieds forum for MBWorld.org members
