One more question: is there any significant difference between the standard 15 inch wheels vs. the 17 inch? What is the advantage of 17 inch if there is one?

Hello all, I ha ve been researching hybrid cars for a while now and aftger many test drives of others decided on purchasing the Prius. When I got down to the negotating process I was told there is none. In fact I was told the going price is about $1000 over MSRP. Just wanted to confirm this with outhers that have recently purchased one. I am looking at the IV version, would like the V with the 17 inch wheels but I understand the lead time is about 8 weeks.
