Default 2012 S60 T6 - 18" Stock Wheels or 17" Njord??

Hi

I am about to purchase a S60 T6. I had one on order, but the dealer said they just took delivery of the same one I had on order, except it has the 17" Njord wheels ($250 option). Does anyone have them that can share a picture? On the web, they don't look that different at all. What is the advantage to having these wheels/rims that would make it cost MORE than the standard wheels, even though they are a smaller size? thanks!

I'm my experience smaller rims with taller tire walls tend to have a smoother quieter yet rather sloppy ride, corners soft so better for daily driver
larger rims corner better but they can be louder and more uncomfortable, but that is normally only if you buy cheap tires.
unless you drive like mad, you probably won't notice much or a difference at all
oh also smaller rims tend to have lower cost tires so you might get that 250 back on your first tire change.
