I'm not sure what you mean...those are the new AMG rims. They come with the C63.
The front bumper is different from a non AMG W204.

Cosmetically, I see more differences, albeit very subtle...

Rims (ive seen some pictures with DTM-style rims and some with the 5 spokes)
Hood (two vertical humps)
Quad exhaust
Rear diffuser (to accomodate the quad exhast)
Side skirts (straight line all the way from front to back-instead of having that angled cut))
Front bumper
Black front grill

Actually, everything in front of the A-pillar is different. The C63 has a longer front-end, revised fenders to accommodate the wider front track, and the power domes on the hood. Seen it with both the DTM rims which you posted, and the 5-spoke the OP posted. The 5-spokes look similar to the split spoke 18" that are an option on the base W204s. But it's interesting that I don't see the counterweights for the TPMS. on the C63 rims.

I forgot to mention. Every time I see the new C63 I want to cry. I really think its the hottest looking Benz out there right now. It even trumped my all time favorite the CLS63!

C220 CDI W204
Honestly, i dont like it.
I dont think the front bumper looks good with the vents on the side. I actually dont like the entire front end, it just looks too long.
I preffer the W204 with AMG sports pack..

I'm going to assume that the C63 for the U.S. will have the same wheels as the SLK55, the same ones pictured in the post above. The five spoke ones that have been shown on euro cars are 21'' and Benz won't allow those in the states for some reason or another.

You know I never noticed the side skirts on the 6.3.... I agree the "Sport" W204 sills look so much "Sportier"

Opinions vary.

21"??? Those 5 spokes are only 18"! Where did you read this?

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
I have to agree w/ Thatonealex. The front overhang is too long. One of the reasons I picked the new C, albeit superficial, is the snub-nosed look. It seems like a lot of the new Euro cars have long bird beaks.

Peabers, I like the picture in your sig.

I keep seeing references to the C 300 spoiler. I take it there are two different spoilers for the 350 and 300?

Correction all euro spec C63's have 19'' rims. U.S. spec cars get 18''..I was thinking of the CL65, my bad sorry for the confusion.

I think the C63 spoiler is bigger....more like the spoiler on the C350. Ours is smaller.

Sorry but wrong again!

Standard in Europe are 18" (besides cloth seats and no radio!) and the
19" are an option!
