$0 in my opinion... and I'd definitely go 214 over those even if more expensive.

In other words, don't pay too much cause you know they'll want something. They will have to get the 336s off their hands too.

OK, so to be clear the car is coming with 214s and I want the 336s. I just like the looks of the 336 better, not to say the 214s are bad. Is there any reason you prefer the 214s other than looks?

I thought the same thing about the cost but wanted to confirm my hunch. I figure I have to pay labor plus some reasonable profit margin.

Oh sorry, you can probably see how it could read both ways.

I think the 336s are too busy. Like the X3's imitation of the 214s (style 114), it's not quite as refined. A bit rough around the edges in a way. Just my opinion. I think the 300, 214, or 128s are the nicest out there.
