Would you let color/rims be a MAJOR factor

Yes, closer to stock sedan would be 56 in rear on 9.5 rims.

I always make a list of what's a dealbreaker for me with a car and what's negotiable. For me, the forged multi-spoke wheels, Burmeister 3D and carbon and/or night package were 100% necessary. I wanted a white car but I found a selenite one and I love the color. Very understated which is fine by me, my white CLS got WAY TOO MUCH attention. I wouldn't buy an AMG with the cast five-spokes unless I had aftermarket wheels in the budget. Color you can change to whatever you want with a wrap. Decide what's most important to you and rank it as someone above me said. That one looks like it's missing some important options IMO.

I know this is off topic but I would never wrap my car. You have to remove those wraps after 5 years and sometimes with high temperature, the wrap can melt into the paint and sometimes take the original paint right off when removing the wrap. I personally wouldn’t do paint protection wrap either.
I did wrap my spoiler gloss black but I am willing to take a chance on something that small but I wouldn’t on the car paint.

Interesting, your argument is quote opposite to what I think - aka I think wheels are easy to change, colors are not (no, wrap is not color change but cover up with its own pro and contra). Btw, a quality wrap (which is still a cover up) is just as expensive as a nice set of wheels. Now, you can do the low budget wraps...

Depends on what you're going to spend on wheels. For me, my car came with an $8,000 set of forged wheels from the factory. If I was going to replace them I'm either going with HRE or Vorsteiner's bespoke forged line which will run over $10k easy just for the wheels. A wrap is way cheaper by comparison. Easy to change? Yes wheels are easy to change, but they're also easy to cheap out on.

The rears are listed as deep which could explain the small positive offset. This would result in the backspace being smaller than OEM.

RavenM6, I had reached out to Vossen directly and here is what they sent me:
HF5-19X850+26-F
HF5-19X950+06-D
looking at the description provided in the sales order that breaks down to a 19 x 8.5 +26 flat front and a 19 x 9.5 +06 deep rear wheel
Those particular wheels were quoted at $549 each direct from Vossen and have a 5-6 week lead time.

Color is 100% a deal breaker for me. It isn't something that is easily changed.
Wheels, I would be more inclined to overlook. You can always source a good condition used set of the OEM wheels you prefer, or go aftermarket.

Color is not a deal breaker for me. Plus I find selenite grey a beautiful color. It goes super well with carbon fiber or gloss black accents because they stand out.
Wheels are a deal breaker for me but the fix is easier. I bought mine with 19” 5 spoke wheels. I kept checking Marketplace for 19” black cross spokes wheels until a few came up for sale and I bought them. You could sell yours for $1500-$1750, the other ones will cost you around $2000-3000 depending on whether they come with tires.
I’d jump on it if the deal is right.

WELL....
I bought it!!
Realistically i was going to go XPEL stealth on it anyway (no matter the color to get the matte/magno finish) - so I would have the same cost there. New OEM rims i got quoted at 900 a pop and the place doing it said they can buy my rims of me (i would prolly get 1.5-2k) but still it makes it a 2-3k total for rims.
I got a GREAT deal on the car and they gave me great money on my mustang (which i actually MADE money on) + the sales tax benefits. Car has 8k miles and it's unreal. The only other thing i'm not a huge fan of is the wood instead of carbon on the interior, but I LOVE the yellow stitching on the seats so i'd rathert have that then black seats with no stitching!!

I prefer dark colored cars and I told myself I’d never have a car with black wheels. They’ve never been attractive to me, so when I started shopping for a C63S, I was only looking for one in black, gray, silver, or dark blue with the silver cross spoke wheels.
Then I found my Polar White Edition 1.
If I had purchased a new C63S, I don’t think I ever would have spec’d out one with big decals on the sides, red accents on the mirrors, and black wheels with red piping…but since I was buying pre-owned, I was a bit more open minded. When I saw the Edition 1 sedan in person, the whole package just worked. It’s still has more of a “boy racer” feel than I was expecting to get into when I started shopping for my car, but I’ve totally embraced it and now really enjoy it.
