Question about 2006 C-class Kompressor

Will the 2006 model have the same wheels as the 2005? I love the look but heard they will have new wheels for 2006.

Thanks.

There will be no more C-class "Kompressor" in North America for MY2006.
All engines will be naturally aspirated V6 (and V8 for C55 AMG).

GermanCarFans has had pics of the 06 models up for a while now. The 17" six-spokes on the wagon are the new sport wheels. And yes its true the Kompressor is gone for 06.

The superchargers will be back. If not, Turbos. There's already a supercharged 6.3 and maybe a 6.9L version coming. Yikes. Enjoy this while you can kids...its 1969 all over again....and the door is gonna be slammed shut sooner or later.

I agree w/ c230k the c55 should be supercharged if they ever want to compete w/ the new m3. dont get me wrong but with a 6spd and a charged v8 the c55 would give the m3 a run for its $$$
