wheels on the US Performance Pack??

Hey, im about to order the car this week, and i just wanted to see if someone can confirm for 100% that the performance package in the US does NOT come with the 19inch wheels

i dont like the 19in spokes.....i like the 5 star AMG's....i wish they where 19's but thats another story

anyways, i def dont wanna get stuck with the spoke rims, thats a deal breaker for me...

can someone confirm that theyre definitely not available in the US

Last time I checked with my dealer, they told me no different rims in the PP but that was a few months back.

Does your dealer know the price of the PP on the C63? Mine keeps telling me its going to be 11K!!! And everone on here say its 3900.00 , they asked me to get a contact number of a dealer who knows the price so I can change my order!

It's not. My dealer kept on saying it was going to be $1X,XXX but after two weeks ago they got the price and said it was somewhere in the $3000s.

Check sig!
My dad gets his C63 in a couple of weeks and he ordered the Performance Package.
We´re from Sweden so we get the Eurospecs with 19"s.
The dealer told us that the PP requires 19"s because of clearing the brakes, so I wonder how the US-market can use 18"s with PP?

Any word on this.......I'm placing my order on Tuesday....my dealer is telling me the brakes are larger to compensate of the higher speed limiter or delimiter. There is no way that larger brakes will fit under 18" wheels and still manage the TUV allowable clearance....am I correct?

I spoke with my sales guy yesterday and he said PP was around $4k. Some of the trade mags say $3995.

RE: PP Wheels

My dealer called to verify my order specs this morning and faxed his NetStar sheet for my car to me. All it sais for PP (option code 030) is:

251 : Delimination of Top Speed to 186 mph
471 : Limited Slip Differential Lock

No 09 pricing yet, but I anticipate we US customers will get the same brakes and 18 inch wheels as the standard suspension; curious as to whether we will get the Euro Spec PP suspension or not given what NetStar states.

For what it's worth, every rumor I have heard puts US PP pricing in the $3K range.
