19' multispoke vs Comand online (choose)
Hello fellas,
I know this is a silly question but, put yourself in my shoes for a second and imagine that you had to chose one; either the comand online system or the 19' multispoke wheels.
As I had to pick one of them cause both would be too expensive for me.
TBH I went with Comand not for the improved system cause I'm not sure how good it is or what's the real benefits for having it. but because the smaller screen look really hmmm un-nice to me.
However the 18' wasn't as good looking as the 19' but the 18' isn't bad looking either, plus the fact that the roads here have so many imperfections and a 19' might be 1 inch more vulnerable than the 18'.
Looking forward to have some honest opinions and excuse my English.

Big difference in price right? Aren't the Multispoke an extra $500 vs $2800 for Multimedia. Multi gets you the big screen, plus a HD music register, and Navi. You'll be staring at that screen all day, so I think it's a must. Push the budget a little...what's $500 over the life of the loan?... And get the wheels now. If you buy them later you're looking at a set of aftermarket wheels, plus 19" tires, plus labor...can't touch that for $500. Maybe $1500.
My philosophy is this: if the difference between a car I'll love and a car l'll settle for is another $50 a month in payment, I'd rather write the bigger check ever month than drive a compromise and resent the smaller check I have to write every month. If the cheaper version is $500 a month and my dream build is $550, the swing is $50, because $500 is going out either way.

Here in the GCC the rims cost around 2750$, the command online costs around 3700$.
If it was only 500$ I would've bought a set for me and a set for you lol

No kidding? Yeah I double checked and they're a $500 upgrade here, $2800 for Comand upgrade. I was wondering why quibble if you really want them.
I will say a 205 on the Sport suspension and 19s rides very firm, too firm for me. If I was doing 19" I'd get AirMatic to take the edge off.Attachment 322752

If you want my opinion lol go with Command. I personally don't like the look of the 19" wheels but that's just me. I much prefer the 18" star wheels 
And I agree with 19" I would definitely get Airmatic!

I'm glad that you think that way it reassures me that some people like the 18' better. I personally prefer the 19' but 18' are more durable with these roads.

I'm a die hard 5 spoke guy. I just went through three months of nonsense piecing together a set of staggered AMG CL63 5 spokes for my 222 and they make the car. But on the 205, and on the 222, my favorite wheels by far are the Multispoke. They elevate the car's presence somehow.

I agree with the comments. The Command system you cannot add later. Wheels you can always change.
To add to the confusion: if I had to choose I'd rather get Burmester sound system over keyless-go. Keyless imo is a gadget. Improved sound however ...

Lol that would makes sense, if the price of the burmester was priced as the keyless go. However here the Burmester is as expensive as the 19' rims and the comand online.
I'm starting to think I'm the only one here who has a ruthless life sucking money stealing dealership.
TBH I'm not sure how much $$ the burmester costs there in Canada, US, UK and Aus. Here it's around 3000$.
