The same applies to other prestige makes e.g. Mercedes and AMG/Brabus etc. Chrome wheels on a BMW in the UK would be laughed at.............I hope I never see one!

Color choice is also very important. White seems popular in the US but in the UK it can knock £1000-£2000 of the resale value in the first 3 years!

At the end of the dayI think we're all agreed that if you bought the car, you can customize it as you wish.........you've got to live with it just don't expect others to like it!
It looks like you hit the nail on the head. I guess this subject is now done.
