Wow, those wheels are stunning! Why is there no logo on the gearlever, or is it just the photo?

No logo on lever for some reason.

BenzoAMGpower: Yes, the cup holder is only for one cup. I know this because my dad's W203 in Asia also has only one cup. The other cup holder that you need to push in order to use it is not there.

YES!!!

The Aux. Input is still there... in the glove box.

Heard rumors that the new Command doesn't support this input.

Are these the new C55 wheels that are equiped on the US versions? Like the S4 wheels, these will surely have a bad case of curb rash with that spoke detail.

New C55's in the US come with dual cupholder, biger than the ones on the C32s. Europe and Asia and may be other areas get the "single" cupholder with that pseudo coin holder.
The C55 pics posted at the beginning of this thread have a C55 with lowered suspenssion, larger wheels fitted with their comparable size tires, electric folding mirrors and parktronic. None of those options are available in the US (not to say that an owner may get all those options separately after the vehicle has been delivered).

Cheers!

my good man Wiedermann!

the wheels are the same size as the wheels in the states... just a different design. You could buy these but I am not sure they fit the car as well as OEM USA spec wheels.

night!

Looking at wheels from a portable device is never a good idea.

We may resume our previous programming

Cheers!

yeah, i did... That's the only thing i dont like about my car, it's cupholder. They could have at least covered it up, instead of leaving a "hole" in there.

Wow, that is a different setup. I was almost ready to look for some part #s until you said that it only hold 1 cup.

Those wheels are actually the new wheel design for the CLK 500 ('05). Nothing that fancy. I still prefer the 5 Spoke-split wheel.
