Just got one!

I didn't think I would be leasing a C250 coupe when I walked into the dealership.

Thanks. The AMG wheels are included in the Advance Agility, which I highly recommend. It's priced just a little more than the wheel upgrade option.

Congrats! I didn't realize the wheels come with that package. They are the 18" AMG wheels right? I assume the wheels are also included on a C350 with that package?

Thanks,

K.

Yes, the 18" wheels were included in the Advanced Agility package which I never realized existed. When you activate the "Sport" button to the right of the driver's heated seat button it tightens the steering and firms up the suspension. It also feels as if the steering effort increases with speed. The normal "E-S" button by the transmission is replaced with an "M" button for manual paddle shifting. Nice value option to consider.

In Australia, those AMG '786' wheels are offered as an extra option (which I've taken up) if you've already opted for the AMG sport package

Besides the twin 5 spoke 18" C63 AMG wheels these 786's are the best looking choice IMHO

I believe all the U.S. coupes come with the AMG sport body kit. And the 18" twin spoke AMG wheels are a stand alone option as well ($1040). But for an added $360 you get the Advance Agility value package.

Ha ha. Don't let the last three acquisitions fool you...they are all leases that were too good to pass up.
