I am also 99 percent sure I will be ordering these from MB canada as well, I have emailed my dealer locally to see what pricing will be like for them. I have connections and might be able to get them dealer pricing so I will see if I can get a discount.

I guess we'll know for sure in 4 to 6 weeks what the PP includes... I don't know how acurate your findings are but my crystal ball hasn't been very clear as of yet.

Derek@DRI

If the price is rumored to be at $3900 for the PP you can bet your *** no 19" Wheels would be included. The wheels and tires alone would cost more than the package.

I think the Performance Package will have what we already think(LSD, Rotor Upgrades, Suspension and Steering Wheel). I bet all the suspension is, is revalved shocks and struts.

I am not sure what kind of "crystal ball" you are looking through, but I guess it seems a lot clearer than Mercedes North America, as it has been stated by them in the many many articles written about this car and the available packages in different parts of the world. Like Derek@DRI, for the presumably cheap $3900 for the PP, common sense would prevail that you wont be getting these wheels in the PP package.

Obsidian C63

The following is from MBUSA:

Upon receipt we contacted our AMG area and confirmed the following information.

The P30 Performance Package available for the 2009 C63 includes the
following:

-Limited Slip Differential
-AMG Suspension
-Compound Front Brake Discs
-Leather/Alcantara Steering Wheel
-Top Speed of 174mph

Additionally, there is no retrofit available to install Keyless Go into a
2009 C63. This option simply isn't available. Please be assured that your desires have been shared with the appropriate areas within out company.

We hope you find this information helpful and appreciate the opportunity to correspond.

Sincerely,

Paul H.

Ah, finally someone with credibility, great post!
DEREK@DRI those HRE are real hot, but i think i paid alot less for the AMG wheels, anybody out there with a hook up for cheap rubber as we should probably become real good buddies with them for the amount of rubber we'll pollute the enviroment with.

Your dealer must love you, I just got a quote on the rims from my canadian MB dealer.

The AMG style wheels are available but currently back ordered.

Pricing is as follows:



6-6-03-1047 $1122.00 each (front)

6-6-03-1048 $1191.00 each (rear)

1st amg

That is the exact price he first gave me...List price. I have established a reputation of not paying list in my dealings, so he discounted them as much as they could, they do treat me well. Back order is stated but with a current 10 to 30 day wait.

On a earlier post I mentioned a Premuim for the wheels which I thought I read somewhere, which might be a add on to the PP package item list. I did Not think for 3900 you would get it all, that would be wishful thinking. It would be more like 9K for the whole package, my dealer said it might be add as option to the PP package ie;(sport package)

Now that MB has cleared as of 6/2/08 030 PP item list, we can put this to bed. I'm still wondering if MB will have a sport package, which might have the 19 inch wheels... yep I'm still hoping, I love those MB 19in multi's

Derek@DRI

Ahh I thought the top speed was 186? Or was that just a number thrown out there?

Shooff

That makes sense now, I have friends in the car business, was going to ask them to call see what they could get them for at 'dealer' price as well. Also if they get them through their business I can save 1 tax too.

I like the idea of throwing the stock AMG 19" on the C63. That is legit. The stock 18" would be good for winter wheels for sure.

Don't listen to people saying you should have gotten HRE's or whatever. Anything AMG is way more elite than aftermarket IMHO. Don't get me wrong, I have put aftermarket parts on almost all of my whips, but if I can get clean factory parts (even for more $$$)... that is ideal.

I ordered my 09' with CF interior for a grip of money simply because I didn't want to get some cheap aftermarket ****. Those 19s are tight. Please post pics if you get them (even though there are tons of pics of the Euro ones out there).

1st amg

That is exactly how i came to the conclusion on buying these wheels and not the aftermarkets, besides i just love the way these wheels look on this car...soon as the wheels come in, i will take pics of the wheels and post them, the car comes later, about a month later.

NORTH 44 C63

Yeah.....please let me know where you are storing them while waiting for your car to arrive LOL

1st amg

Barry, I am storing them in my matrimonial bed in between my wife and i, yes they will have to sleep with us.

NORTH 44 C63

I will give it a week then I am sure your wife would be very grateful if I helped them disappear!!

1st amg

Very Funny!

JohnEnglish

The option sheet I got for the 2009 C-Class shows KEYLESS GO on it.

Derek@DRI

Is it from Canada?

JohnEnglish

Yes. However, I can't see them offering it on Canadian vehicles and not American ones.

Derek@DRI

Yeah actually believe it or not the US Models are not getting keyless go. Oh well, not a biggie but would have it if I could.

JohnEnglish

Wow, that's one of the few instances I've heard of us getting something and not Americans.

alchris

UK cars aren't getting Keyless Go either.

Back to the AMG 19" alloys; will a 275 section tyre fit without problems on a 9.0J wheel?

1st amg

275 profile will fit a 19 x 9 wheel, anymore that than that it may start to bubble on the side, that is the size I will more than likely order and a 245 for the front.

wilco77@mac.com

are u still looking for c63 original wheel set up???
