If the sales guy does not want to help, talk to the parts manager and do the sale of the 16" HFP's through the parts department. They can do the swap when the car is delivered.

Thanks.


Edit: According to HandA-Accessories.com, they're about 17.75 pounds each. Not super-light forged wheels, but not bad.

I think it's the seat adjustment and my height. Never had this problem in a Honda before. All the way back, my legs are more comfortable, but I can just reach the steering wheel with my arms completely straight. Move it a notch up and my knees are cramped.

I'm only 6'3", so not quite freakishly tall.
