So my c63 coupe is being built beginning of february. I'm not crazy about either of the factory 18" wheels though. I'm wondering if it's possible to have the 19" 16 spokes worked into the deal but i'm not sure if they fit on the coupes.I know they are fine on the sedans but I haven't seen a coupe with them yet. Does anyone know if there would be any fitment issues? Any feedback is appreciated.

The Coupe Edition 1's all come with the 19's. So the answer is yes, they fit the same. As for working a deal to get them instead of the 18's, you won't be able to order it from the factory that way. I believe the only way you'll get the 19's is to order after you buy the car.

Thanks for the quick response. I figured they would fit. I understand I can't get them from the factory but I called my salesman and asked if it would be possible to order them separately and install them on the car before I take delivery, he made it seem like those 19's couldn't even be ordered. I guess i'll call parts tomorrow myself. Do you happen to know the style # so I can reference it. Is it 225?

Depends on where you live I guess. In Canada they are a factory option and can also be easily ordered. Most of the world, other than the US, is similar.

I havent seen the coupe with those wheels on. Should be quite amazing!!

They can be ordered for sure. I had my dealer look into it and they verified the parts and costs. Follow up with your parts dept.

I have them and it was a $1,200 option for me up here in Vancouver... I was thinking about having them painted matte black after seeing pictures but these ones look much better in person.

Can't see any reason at all why you couldn't option the 19" multispokes, if your car hasn't been built yet.
Originally, I wasn't really keen on the look of them, & I thought they may create brake caliper cleaning issues for me....but we thought the car definitely needed 19s, so we optioned them....we're happy we did, but if there'd been a 19" version of the new twin spoke, I reckon that would've looked pretty good too.
Regards, Pickles.

Unfortunately, it can't be optioned in the US. Stupid, really, because the US Edition 1 comes with 19's standard. We have to order them from the parts dept.

Pickles

Absolutely ridiculous.....what is a "US Edition 1"?
Some things don't make sense do they?!!...In Aus, prior to the 2012 model, both versions (black, & silver), were no cost options with the Performance Pack.......hwever for 2012, the Silver wheel is still a N/C option with P/P, but now, if ya want the charcoal version, ya gotta pay another $2K!!
Cheers, Pickles.

So I stopped by my dealership today. The best they can do is order the rims and tires seprately and give them to me "at cost". I wish i could just pay the difference between the 18s that are coming with the car and the 19s. Im pretty sure the 19s are going to be about 4k. Ill keep you guys posted. Kind of dumb that we cant order them as an option from the factory.

Pickles

Have you sought an opinion from a few other dealers?
Cheers, Pickles.

Sadly the lack of flexibility must be the price you pay for getting the car so cheap compared to us here in Australia. When we are paying the best part of USD180K to get the new C63 with PP on the road it seems MB Australia must be prepared to be a little bit flexible with availability of options/packaging etc.
I would have thought 4K for 19s (assuming tyres included) is a pretty good deal. You could always shift the 18s "second hand" and get at least half of the 4K back??

Check the above posts, or here's another pic



Congrats digi19! The new coupes are sweet!

C63Louie

Did that include the tires?

digi19

No. With tires its looking to be a little more. I believe they said msrp for each wheel is around 1100 for the rears and 900 for the fronts. figure at least another 1000 for decent tires.Most likely not going to go through the dealership if thats the case.

I'll be trying my Work wheels off of my C350 on my C63 later this week when I swap my winter wheels onto the car. Depending on how they look, I may sell my 19" multi spoke wheels if the Works fit and I like the look. Will keep you updated.

BerBer63

this is like 2008 all over again....short story - buy them from any dealer for 4K+ or alloywheelsdirect.com for about 3600 shipped from UK or from a private dealer

digi19

Thanks man. Please do keep me posted.

Hi Pickles, We in Australia are somewhat the same. When the C63 first came out you could only have your car delivered with 18" and had to order the 19" from spare parts about $8k. (This is how a bought my c63 18" wheels for my C280)

Now you can only get 19" with P30 package. ( MB Coupe Spec's from MB website). When I rang the dealer other day about wanting to buy a one 19" as a spare wheel I had to quote my vin. BTW $2k for 1 front wheel only !!!!. I'm now getting an after market spare as well and tyre for about $500.

Cheers

Pickles

G'Day Marty, what sort of "aftermarket" spare & tyre did you get?
Regards, Martin.

I asked out of curiosity...I was told they are about $1500 per wheel.
