Hey Joel, are you still set for an August build? My dealer sent me a note while he was getting my order in, saying availability on the black wheels would push it to October. I'm guessing you got in before enough orders stacked up to delay them.
In the end, I shuffled my options a bit to get into 15/08-1 (just color/wheels/brakes/seats lol).

Yeah not only was the delay until October, but my estimated build date was going to be 10/30. I didn't feel like waiting until November, so I went for the twin 5-spoke wheels instead, which I think are also great-looking wheels, even if the style is a bit common among Mercedes cars.
My advice if you must have black wheels is to **** or get off the pot - the longer you wait to order, the longer the wait is going to be unless there's an increase in manufacturing capacity or reduction in demand for them. Either that or plan to go aftermarket.

According to JP it will be most likely be end of August or the first week in September. So I keep telling myself first week in September.
I originally was in the camp that a 2016 sounds better a model year newer etc etc. but bottom line the 2016 is $800 more for the same exact car! I would personally would put that 800 towards a free carbon fiber spoiler.

Hey Bud. The original range was 1st decade in August for build date. Then my start date was bumped back to 2nd decade in August because of the black wheels. Since it was only a 10 day difference it was a no brainier to wait for the black wheels. I'm really glad I made my down payment when I did! I'm still on the fence on the 997 drivers package and the carbon spoiler. Decisions decisions.
997 Drivers Package FTW, my friend! You're about to talk me into the carbon spoiler too.

You definitely got in on the black wheels party before I did, then. We'll see how long I'm happy with the twin 5-spoke wheels. I'm sure I can get the hookup with Supreme Power & KlassenID when the time comes - they're both about 40 minutes from me, and KlassenID did the R&D on my S6 to get the dimensions for the M52R forged wheel.

I hear you on the brilliant blue! That was my initial choice too. Honestly now I'm not sure which I prefer. But either way I'm going to be loving it!

Lunar Blue looks fantastic.
Anyone who is looking for KlassenID pricing please feel free to give us a all. They have the C63 for W205 down. In fact they may have the only car on the board right now with aftermarket forged wheels.
Happy to help!
