I told the dealer to give me a couple of hours because I had to see what my wife thought, since our first choice is Magnetic Gray.
A couple of hours later, I called back expecting to get bad news that the car was sold; it wasn't.
This made me a bit suspicious. I then asked if it had upgraded wheels. He said "Yes, and it makes the car that much more beautiful". Of course, the next question from me was "How much for this add-on?" His reply: "$4000"
They would not budge in removing the wheels and putting the stock ones back on, although I did get a call the next day that they would be willing to cut the cost of the wheels in half. No go from me, thanks.
If the wheels are sold at toyotapartsstore.com for $186.42, how much does the dealer get them for? That's one heck of a money maker for these guys!

Are you sure that the wheels were Toyota alloys? They may have been aftermarket wheels, but still - 4k for wheels and tires? Highway robbery.
