The retail price of the above is about $3664.
The price of the package as a port-installed option is $4440. So, is this a bad deal? The price is higher due the added cost of shipping the summer wheel/tires separately + mount/balance of the winter wheels.
Since the wheels would be residualized according to my CA, this would still be a good deal as long as you're leasing and planning to turn in the car. |
It's not a good deal. Keep in mind you can sell the wheel and tire package when your lease is up. Your RV is probably 51%. That means in 3 years you have paid $2264 plus interest for the tires that you have to return. Or you can buy them for $3300 ( you can find them cheaper than msrp) and sell them once your lease is up or keep them for the next car. |
I made the same calculation. But the kicker is that the tires and wheels do not need to be returned. I know, it seems too good to be true. I checked this twice. Probably will check again.
Update: I checked again and have the same info - you just return the car with the factory wheels. But I suggest you check carefully with your SA/CA instead of just taking my word for this. Good luck.
