And they're telling you it's your fault for ordering the wrong wheels. Like I get that that is technically true

If you get that it's "technically true" then why all the drama? I've been through the order process on a '23 and you have to select a wheel. You selected the wrong wheel. No need for all the hand wringing and temper tantrums. Phrases like "making me reconsider whether I even want a hellcat at all" and "All my excitement for owning a hellcat is dead" is not a good look for anyone. Walk away from the car and let a reasonable person buy it.

The issue he’s having is the build site hadnt been updated with ‘23 pictures yet. He had no pics to go by. The name of the base wheels had changed, but that is easily overlooked without pictures. I do agree with you though, to not even want a hellcat now is more of a knee-jerk disappointment reaction than anything else. He’ll get the wheels figured out somehow and in the end he’ll be back here telling us how much he loves his new car lol. I completely get the disappointment because wheels can make or break how you see your car.

I know, I've been through the ordering process screens. But you have to make a wheel selection. In my case there were three choices. Bottom line is an uninformed choice is still a choice. You can always defer until you're satisfied that you have the information you need to make the decision. Or plow through if that's your choice, but then it's on you (and he knows that, he's admitted as much).

That was because of how customer service treated me, not the wheel. It makes me genuinely worry that if I have issues with the car they won't back it up or help me out.

And for everyone saying I saw the wheels, yes I did. I never denied I did. What I am saying is the difference between the description of the wheels I THOUGHT I was getting and the wheels I got was one word. Drag vs Perf. I didn't know it was different. If they would have had ANY visual representation at all I would have realized instantly they changed them and chosen the 5-spoke vapors; I wasn't expecting them to put scat pack wheels on a hellcat. Why would anyone think that vs seeing the same description as the 2022 builder you're working off of in the spreadsheet.

And yeah, I express when I feel upset. I guess it's the perk of being a woman and not having to repress every last emotion I ever feel. The car being delivered doesn't look like the car I have been dreaming about daily for about half a year now, and yes I am disappointed I won't have that straight off the lot. Dodge basically told me to **** myself, buy it or someone else will, instead of work out a fair deal. Yeah it made me wonder if this is really a company I want to spend this much money with, or if I'd rather skip owning the hellcat and build the tribute 71 hemicuda instead. Sue me.

I just hope the post helped somebody who had their heart set on the HC2 5 spokes swap their order to Vapors before their car gets built. Cuz as much sass as you wanna give me, I know I am gonna be far from the only person to have made this mistake.

So...you saw the wheels before you ordered the car but you were mistaken about what you ordered and you're mad at the dealer and Dodge because even though you ordered the wrong wheels and the car is already on its way to you, you have hurt feelings and your experience is ruined and you're not even sure you still want the car because the factory won't drop what they're doing to go find the wheels you mistakenly didn't order and ship them to the dealer to be swapped out and now you're worried that they won't honor the warranty because they won't fulfill your ridiculous suggestion, which you feel is "reasonable"

I'm currently at a CDJR dealer getting my oil changed and I told the service writer your story. He's laughing his ass off at you.

Is one of the perks of being a woman to also have completely unreasonable expectations and say crazy and stupid things and then blame it on being a woman?

The over/under on your age is 15. I'm taking the under.

Let's add that she's been dreaming of this car for 6 months.

Yes, but EVERY DAY of those six months.

Can't dealerships simply swap them out for what you want? Honestly,
I don't see the big deal here. Just lean on them a little, try that and see if that works!

Swap them out with what? The pile of new '23 wheels and tires they have laying around?
