C63 Wheel Options
Are the standard 18" on the C63 the only factory wheel option for this car? I've seen the multi-spoke 19" but that seems like a dealer/aftermarket option.

Unfortunately, that's the only wheel available from the factory for North American cars. The 19" Euro wheels are not an upgradeable option; you have to purchase them separately if you want them.

MBUSA should reconsider this, especially considering that the M3 has the 19" wheels as a factory option.
Oh well...

i think there was some US DOT issue - or maybe someone made that up - regardless, they can be had for around $2500 USD - plus freight
the upgrade option would probably run you $1500-$2000 anyhow - this way youd have winter wheels, or you could sell your 18's to someone with a regular C class...

I am in So Cal so the winter wheel option wouldn't do me much good
Nevertheless, you are right the option would run another 2k at least. Plus, you get to sell the 18"s.

When I ordered wheels from them last summer it worked out to around $3400 shipped including center caps, and took about 3-4 weeks to deliver. I spent roughly another $1100 on tires, so $4500 for the combo. I then sold my 18" AMG wheels and tires for $1800.
