Car is at the dealership right now, they are waiting to receive the 18s that I ordered to go with it when I bought it. My question is: do I get get keep the original wheels/tires also? I mean, I did pay for them right??

 

Yes, you did pay for them. Make the dealer hand them over.

 

that's what I thought. I just wanted to make sure so I could make arrangements and take have my gf take her SUV to pick them up when I get the car. Thanks for the help TTUredRaider311!

 

you better double check your paperwork, some dealers have the upgraded option but when the paperwork is signed, they keep the OEM wheels/tires as a trade

so double check, but you are allowed to have the option to get them back, yes

 

you can put the rims in tC's trunk, don't need a SUV to haul them.

 

^^^ What they said.

We don't give credit on wheels so the customer is always welcome to take their OE stuff with them.

 

i bought my tc two months ago, and i got the ipod deck. do you think its too late to go back and get the stock deck?

 

eyah.. i think so.. doubt they have it anymore.

 

im pretty sure the stereo upgrades are upgrades, you paid the difference to UPGADE, so i would venture to say no. also, thats why they wait to install the stereo at the dealership.

 

I would say to slam some winter tires on the OEM wheels.. but I see you live in TX

 

Well, I taked to the salesman in the afternoon after I posted this question and he told me that I don't get the original rims/tires back, which I personally think is BS since the damn sticker price on the window says that it comes with the 17s and I paid extra to get 18s on there..... I'm not leaving that damn place without those wheels unless they show me paperwork signed by me saying that they aren't mine. bbcrud is a dealer so I'm going to take his word that the damn original wheels are mine and I'm going to fight for the damn things (those things aren't exactly cheap).

On the question about getting the original deck back, I think that you are out of luck since that is an upgrade that is installed at the port and not a dealer install, correct me if I'm wrong fellas.

 

DONT leave without the 17's + tires!!!!!

 

Good luck in getting the wheels.

As for the deck, first, it depends on where in the country you live. In some areas, the decks are installed at the port, in others, like mine, they are installed at the dealer. However, that's all really moot because the $260 is only an upgrade, not a new stereo. The dealer/port can return the old deck for credit because it is brand new, and that's why it doesn't cost you $400 plus. If you want to upgrade to the iPod connection after you've owned the car for a while, you'll be charged over $400 because the dealer cannot get a credit on your old stereo because it isn't new. Make sense?

 

I think that is bs. You didnt pay an upgrde price for those rims, you paid full price. And a hefty one at that. I would definitely keep arguing with them.

 

you can always try calling scion corp! complain!

if they dont want to return your rims, then return the rims your bought!

 

no joke. buy them aftermarket if they dont give you the originals. keep the stockers. and then buy aftermarket. its the same concept. besides. what use do they have for a set of stock tC wheels?

 

A lot of dealers are selling them back to Toyota for dealer credit. Also, a lot of dealerships are selling them on ebay.

 

I pre-ordered my tC and I had the option to not take the car if I didn't like it since they didn't even have one for me to try out. I would see if you can just not accept delivery (IF THERE ISN'T A PENALTY) and then go to another dealer who is willing to give you your rims.

 

no, it was dealer installed

 

Number in my sig, get the wheels back.
