I went back and forth on this feature.. sitting and driving both back-to-back. At the end of the day I went with the car that had them. The "standard" seats do offer a little more padding, although to me the performance seats changed the entire look of the car. I've only had the car a few days, and haven't put more than 100 or so miles on it, but so far I'm VERY happy with the performance seats.

C450 wheel offset
Just received my C450. I want to replace the 18" wheels with 19X8 front/19X 9 rear. Can some one tell me the proper off set to use. Thank You.

Really depends on the options you're getting. I put in an order a couple of weeks ago, first it was supposed to be built in mid-December, but then the dealer found out that MB would be out of pano-roofs by that time, so they found me a car built the first week of December. Then MB said that they're out of parking packages for the remainder of the year, so my car got pushed to the end of January.
Yes, waiting for 3 months sucks, especially if you know that you can go and get the car from another dealer right now, but I'm in no rush and decided that getting the exact options I want is worth the wait. Plus, I'm getting $4000+ off with these guys.

Heard this recently as well, Parking Sensors and any of the parking cameras are OOS and won't be in till January..so nothing with them is getting delivered till February earliest.. ;-(
Now, what to do.

Offset on the front is +33mm (18" and 19"), rear either +44mm or +49mm (18") or +52mm (19"). Also OEM wheels are 18x7.5 (front) and 18x8.5 (rear) or 19x7.5 (front) and 19x8.5 (rear).

Nicer wheels, ventilated/cooled seats, and CarPlay and I'd be good to go. I'd like less personality, too (i.e.fake engine noise), not because it sounds 'bad', but just because it sounds loud. Just personal preference. I'd settle for the first three, though.

So if my build date is first week of December then I have to wait until February now?

sure iworks thanks for the advise. I'll finally go for ash wood trim, it is less expensive (700 EUR diff) and more classy than carbon as I don't like the gloss effect on the latter. The clock is indeed nice and makes me think about ¨Porsche interiors

Thanks man ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I also think we made the right choice , but for me it was more an emotional decision always wanted a brand new Mercedes. I know the feeling man , constantly doubting.. im glad the thinking is over
Yes I ordered from Mercedes Belgium, the option is called AMG carbon packet 2.
Where are you from, France ?

If you have a firm build date, you're probably okay

My build has been frozen today and cannot be changed anymore.
In summary:
C450 iridium silver (after having 3 black cars in a row...)
Technology pack (comand, light package, DVD player, rear camera)
Panoramic sunroof
multi spoke 19' AMG wheels with gloss black
Black leather seats with red stitching
Heated and memory seats
Ash wood trim
AMG Performance steering wheel
Burmester sound system
Tinted rear windows
Remote online
My first add would be the carbon rear spoiler AMG part.
Delivery within 6 to 8 weeks depending on build time and weather conditions (snow)
Waiting torture starts !!
