Just poor marketing.
I agree it should have been offered but I’ve never bought a car I haven’t modified so if painting, powder coating or procuring a different set of wheels is the only thing I need to do I’m happy. It definitely wouldn’t stop me from buying a higher model. Nothing wrong with the 40i but I don’t believe the wheel accent color would have stopped anyone from a purchase. It was more so the 15k price difference.
