Dodge changed the stock wheels on 23 :(
Well, tonight I am extremely disappointed after I got a rendering finally showing up beside my order.
This is the car I thought I had ordered:

This is the render:

I apologize to anyone who likes these wheels, everyone has their own tastes, but I am extremely saddened. It dramatically changes the look of the car, and I am just upset with dodge for not having an updated build experience for us to use to order these cars. This is not what I was expecting at all. (The dealer does know to leave the license plate off my car though, so at least there is that! lol).
I'm calling my dealer tomorrow to ask him if it's possible to order a set of '22 stock OEM wheels. It's just honestly killing a lot of the joy of ordering this car for me to have such a prominent feature swapped out from what I was expecting. This was my first ordered car and I can't understate how in love with it I was.
Emphasis on was.
Don't suppose anyone here is near Boston/new england and has very lightly used '22 stock wheels you want to trade? Or does anyone have input on how to get the wheels I wanted?

I've noticed this about you Jimmy N. You don't seem to ever do anything half ass. I mean, aside from your unreasonable dislike for the HC models with the superior number of doors that is.
There, I fixed it for you. That's not unreasonable, right?I mean, aside from your perfectly logical dislike for the HC models with the excessive number of doors that is.
So here's some more confusion:

This rendering of my car I was sent today has the wheels I thought it was going to have lol. I honestly have no idea what their marketing team is doing. I work in marketing and we're already starting on summer creative, actively building/printing spring. How are they so deep into the launch of their new model year without this IMO very important collateral built. Dodge assured me they're working on it though lol.
Picked up my car with the wheels I don't like. Coulda been worse, there was a guy picking up a widebody redeye that cost him over 100k and he got the wrong interior color. As obnoxious as it is, and an added cost I hadn't anticipated, at least I can change the wheels. And I don't have to see them while driving.

I bet the guy with the tan interior never got a POC or he would have known it was ordered wrong.
And seriously just try to forget about the wheels. If you swap wheels they will likely be several years old and then you get some driveline or vibration issue and now you've modded the car and the dealer will blame it on you. With a new car I'll keep the new wheels and tires.

That's what I tried to ask, but I got hardballed with an "it's your privilege to buy this car from us" attitude from both the dealer and dodge. They threatened to sell the car out from under me lol. I thought it would be a simple fix; I wanted OLDER wheels. I woulda swapped low milage used. Nope.
I did learn in the process that the dealer only made 1,400 on my car from the built-in MSRP markup, though, which explains their lack of helpfulness. That's about 4k less than they used to make on the cars when they had lower MSRPs. Dodge has some serious internal issues.
She's in my garage now though. The car rocks even if the company sucks.
