Default Wheel Decision

Well, I just purchased my 2nd S5 (1st one was back in 2008, sold it in 2010) and I couldn't be happier.

2015, Mythos Black Metallic, Black Nappa Leather Pkg, 7 Speed S-Tronic, Technology Pkg, Quattro w/ Sport Diff, B&O, Carbon Inlays, 7 spoke RS Style Rims

1st, I love the car. I had purchased a BMW 435 MSport xDrive and hated the way the car felt so I traded it on the S5, which after all this time on the market, just feels much more special. I was actually looking at a '14 leftover RS5 but it was red and I liked the everyday driving torque usability of the supercharged engine.

Anyway, my only issue with the new S5 is the rims. I like the 5 spoke titanium blades much better. They look sportier and meaner. I just didn't want the entire black gloss (optic) package on a deep black car. My dealer has ordered me the new rims (OEM) and offered to give me $800 for my rims.

Is this OK or should I try and sell them privately?

If you have the RS5 wheels, I'd buy them off you and/or just trade you my stock set plus some cash.
