AMG Race Suspension Kit and AMG 18" wheels will NOT be available in North America

I emailed Michael Liebchen at AMG to get the final word on the AMG Race Suspension kit for the C32 and to find out if 18" dual spoke AMG wheels will be infact standard on cars built after October, and he told me they will not be available in North America due to certification rules.

I don't have a picture, but they're the exact same style as the 2002 dual spoke rims, except in 18" form.

I think this is the 18" wheel that you guys are wondering about.....

(the pic is intended to show the wheels only, forget about the car, I know thats a W209, shouldnt be on the C32 thread!!)

the thin spoke AMG rim will be available in 18 with the right offset to fit on the C32. it's the one on the new SL sport pkg

Does that mean you can even put the 19" 2-piece Style IV (a la SL55) wheel on a C32???

never seen that wheel before, but i think that the SL55 and C32 still have different offset. So, my guess would be NO.

i thought the SL55 uses either 18 thin spoke or 18 multi spoke
