oh yeah, i wonder.
Cha-ching. If it's less than $2k i'll be surprised. They try to kill you on stuff like that. You may well be better off taking the stock wheels and doing your own upgrade through tire rack. See what the dealer offers you and then research it: www.tirerack.com

FWIW, acceleration is actually a little better with the 16", handling a little better with the 17", so know that there's a trade-off. If you're doing it for sex appeal, disregard this.

If I would have had a choice, I would have bought the manual, but they were in short supply and we needed the car pretty much immediately (and the dealer knocked off the $1k difference when I told him that I didn't want the automatic). The auto isn't so bad, but it's no manual.

The 6 speed is a great choice. The DSG (manual-auto/auto-manual) has its detractors. Buy diesel at a place that sells a lot of diesel. Find a good mechanic. Use the right oil. enjoy.
