Anyone else have this happen?

I ordered my truck back in September. Two weeks ago I was assigned a VIN. When the dealer told me about it, she told me that it know has the deluxe aluminum wheels on it and will bump up the price ~$160. It was not listed that way on the DORA. Anyone else get bumped to the aluminum wheels?

And... In theory... if my DORA does not have them....ie. I did not order them.... Should I make them replace them with the chrome or give me the aluminum at no charge?

If I do keep them... Do the horror stories of aluminum wheels and salty states(Michigan loves salt in the winter) still hold true or have they found a way to make the wheels less sucesptible to salt corrosion?

Thanks!

I called the dealer after I posted this and found out that I am scheduled for build this week, with an eta of 3 weeks. I can't wait!
