Happy but not really happy

Car has finally arrived, but with a minor error. I ordered 18" wheels as an extra but my dealer left the order as 17".

Is there really a big difference between the 2? Should I upgrade?

Car is beutiful to drive though

Well.... ask the dealer to correct the error if you have proof of what you ordered on the Sales invoice? Its mainly cosmetic TBH.

Re: Happy but not really happy

If you paid for 18s ask for them to be fitted. What colour Bravo did you get? I avoided the 18s due to the very low sidewall height, and the state of roads around here!

I agree with Hellcat, if you paid for them they should be fitted on there.
To be honest with you though i think the 17" ones look great as they are, but it is a matter of preference of course, i at one point was thinking of getting the 18s but i have changed my mind.

Re: Happy but not really happy

Stick to your guns, you should be getting what you paid for and the dealer should be doing everything they can to make sure you get the car you ordered.

We have had a couple of different Sport's in at work to try and I've noticed that the ride in the car with the 18" wheels was a little crashier and car with the 17" wheels just seemed to ride and handle better.

Of course the 17" wheels do look good

Re: Happy but not really happy

Nope, think the overall size is the same. Just the 18"s have less tyre than the 17"s.

Re: Happy but not really happy

Car is amazing,

Crossover Black is beautiful, Leather is smooth and very confortable, love everything about it.

Will tak some pics later.

Just wondering about my centre arm rest. I don't find it an issue. What was the problem, I remember reading a previous thread that people had issues with it.

Just that it looks ugly on the sport compared to the Dynamic model.

p.s. I think crossover black looks best with the 17"s but since you paid you should at least have the choice of wether or not to have the 18"s fitted.

Re: Happy but not really happy

Can we get some pics? We can then see the difference.

I will take some tonight of the leather sport version, maybe someone with a dynamic can do the same.

Forza Bravo

Re: Happy but not really happy

I was referring to the centre arm rest, however the car looks good. I will probably stay with the 17's.

Thanks for your advice

Re: Happy but not really happy

That scenic at the side looks pretty tasty , just kidding

if you ordered the 18"s, contest with your dealer to get them if you want them

Re: Happy but not really happy

If you want to stay with the 17", I would get the dealer to pay you back what you paid to have the 18's insted of 17's.You have rights as you are the buyer at the end of the day
