Default How much for a rim job?

I meant to post this on the Wheel & Tire site..oops

I'm looking to purchase a '99 2.8 quattro with sport package tomorrow. I like the 5-spoke rims over the 7-spoke sport rims so the dealer will swap them for me at no charge. Does anybody know the value of the 5-spoke vs. 7-spoke rims on the open market so I can better haggle with him? Much appreciated...

Default Practically speaking, no difference.

If you want to know retail, see www.clairparts.com...call them, and ask!

Honestly, you'd be splitting hairs to try to negotiate lower because of the different rims. They are both 16" rims. The more I think about it, the used sales dept. would probably have to pay their service dept. 1 hour of labor to do the swap.
