They are still 5 spokes, but changed. I agree, the standard 5 spokes were my favorites too, and only after ordering did I discover they had been changed to this:

Apologies to those of you who already have these wheels (I don't think there are many of you out there) but IMHO they are hideous. And actually, that photo is flattering. In real life they look even worse. I saw them when looking at 2019s in dealer inventory as I was spec'ing my 2020 order, and the decision to pay for the optional black cross-spoke wheels was never easier.

Agreed. The C63 wheels are even worse in my opinion, somehow. I'm getting aftermarket wheels put on before I pick the car up. I don't even want to see it with those! It's sad, the pre facelift 5 spokes looked great.

Stock upgrade forged wheels are alright. I went with the standard 5 spoke set since they’ll get replaced as soon as I take delivery. Still, the new aero design represents a step backward from the previous 5 spoke version.

Great. That pic looks a little different than on the mbusa website. I assumed that they look better in person, but alas no (I have not seen any around here). Just emailed my salesman and he updated my order.
