Go for it! Want a few more pics to tempt you? To me 19ins multispoke with black is the best colour combo,Red,Silver,Grey,not quite as stunning! MB should have made multispoke standard fit on c63 and maybe 18s for all you track boys out there! (19ins on my car just would'nt have it any other way!!!!) More brainwash eh? No its a must have!!!!

Brainwash wife, thats easy! Bunch of flowers,box of her favourite choc,s and tell her she can clean them while you cook dinner!(Cleaning them is not that bad really!)Wash the pots,run her the bath with her favourite bubbles,put her into a sweet smelling bed and boy will she be in heaven!!!!! Get up at the crack of dawn(you do breakfast of course!) then out in that obsidian c63 with the sun shining on those 19ins multi's,Boy you two are going to be one happy couple!! Decision Made? hope so! Looks like being nice weather this wk end so i will be out taking pics to post to you "Both"

Guess mzporto is right. I like 19"s. You also make a good point about how driver's behaviour will determine the fate of the tires. Yesterday I have been examining 19" in close detail. Still think it is insanely thin but this time I am beginning to think it maybe acceptable.
Maybe its due to the brainwash from this forum

Guys. Think I am calling the salesman tomorrow to get him reserve a set of 19" for me. I also need to negotiate the $ associated with it.
On a side issue, is Michelin Pilot Sport 2 more durable than a Pirelli PZero? Heard the factor Pzero wears really fast.

Michelin Pilot Sports should do well. I went with Nitto Invo's and the grip and wear has been good so far. I have only 500 miles on the Invo's but the grip is great, much much better than the Pirelli's.

Hope this has helped Chap with his decision on 18 or 19ins wheels.

Thanks a lot merc1amg. Your photos are cure to my frustration as there is still one month before it arrives.
BTW, how do you feel black compares with white? From the photos it seems that the lines of the car do not stand out as in white. Any comment?

Black looks good as is, white often needs some help with a few carbonfibre bits to break up the stark effect. Just my opinion.

Funny you should say that because i had the same doubts when i'd ordered black wondering if i should have gone for white and nearly changed my mind 6 wks after giving my dealer a deposit.Even going to collect the car on the day i thought maybe should have gone with white,but seeing it in the showroom for the first time my doubts disappeared "Wow" black looks great,got it home "Wow black looks great,one month on really love met black and now just pleased i did'nt go with white.Also pleased i paid extra for the black maple trim which tones things down inside.The car looks stunning just as it is going dark, the shine on the paint work,the contours and shape of the body is just awesome,(Tried to take pics in this light but can't seem to capture the look! one day maybe!) Sure the car will blow your mind when the big day comes!Black with multispokes "Perfect combination"

Hey Chap, I am from Hong Kong too, have the 19" on my black c63. It is perfectly fine for the roads here in HK. I have to say it looks a lot more aggressive with a black C63 too. I have my 19" painted matt black as well.
Here are two pics of my car.

i heard some say 18" performs better on track, but have not found hard data to support this...but since you will not track (why u so certain!?), then 19 will do just great!!
