Really I just felt the 17" might be a little harsher and I am not going to be driving it performance wise. I figured if it became a concern later I could then look to upgrade my rims and tires but just wanted to start off with the standard tires.

Not sure what you mean that there would be a difference in speedometer, that since the 2.4T tires are little more narrow that my speedometer reading would be wrong/off? To me that is not a good thing...

Well the salesman said he is going to look into it himself (I guess verify what I said) and he said he is sure we can work something out. I am trying to gather information on what the correct options should be for us to even consider, namely is there any reason why I need to go with the Metis wheels at a minimum, can I keep the 2.4T wheels on it now and just get the price difference, or if they can't get me the Metis wheels then go an pay the difference to have the 17" wheels.

Thanks,
