Perhaps the cost of the black finish lead some to believe the construction is different?

2014 C63 AMG 507 Edition
Doubtful. According to the US 2014 Ordering Guide, both code 785 (standard silver) and 793 (optional black $1,000) are forged. I can't imagine them making a cast batch of the silver ones for Canada.

You are correct they are both forged (they are exactly the same)....in Canada the black ones are a $500.00 option...not sure why you US folks have to pay $1000.00

Where did you guys see that the silver ones are also forged? I am not disputing it - I am just curious. Yes, the black ones are a $500 option on the Canadian 507 but they are the only ones that are described as forged on the MB Canada config site. The finish on the two-tone silver wheels obviously takes more time and effort than the plain black so I thought that would be the reason why.

Pages 3, 5, 6 and 7.
I have an older version and it says $1,000 for the black. This version says that's an estimate, so they might have lowered that in the US too.

Thank you. Strange they omitted it from the Canadian MB site - it led me to believe only the black ones were forged. It's also interesting that in Canada they bundle all the options together into two packages, whereas almost everything is available separately in the US. I wonder why that is.
