Scratching my head trying to figure out that at the time you order your car the black rims cost an extra $1,500 but when you want to purchase them after the initial purchase it is $977 per rim.

My guess: They are giving you the black rims *instead of* the default rims, so that accounts for some of the difference. The rest is just markup/profit.

 

[Gorgon]

Correct. The $1500 is the delta price over the cost of the standard rims. So with a little math it looks like the standard rim is ~$600 ea.

Makes sense. Time to sell the other kidney ?

Just get them painted.

Just get them painted.

Agreed. Had mine done but the other way around and you cannot even tell.

Like the idea. Any recommendations where they will do it right? - Thanks!

I have to thank this forum regarding rims. I ordered with standard rims but after seeing some of the pictures I changed my order not just from standard rims to black rims, but I added black package and changed interior to black. It's not that much extra but it looks way cooler in my opinion.

I found a car I liked had everything except black pack and black wheels. I had wheels powder coated and now trying to decide if I should get grille and side vents vinyl wrapped.

Those look sharp!

My dealer had a wheel shop they used and they backed them up 100% so I had no issues trusting the process. Im not sure where in PA you are located but the shop my dealer used was right across the Delaware/PA border, I would ask your dealer if they recommend anyone.

Perfect - Thanks!

I personally didn't go with the black pack but in your case I would definitely black out the side vents, grill and tint those front 2 windows. Just my 2 cents.

I also had dealer paint rims on our new XJ. They did it when tinting glass and gave me a new XF loaner while they did it. Very happy with results
