Honestly you got a badass car, didn't take a huge hit on depreciation and it's an AMG too. Try to leave the regret behind! You only live once! You'll get 'em next time

If I recall, someone once inquired on ordering the OEM black cross forged wheels. Believe the price from MB was north of $8-9K... more than a set of new HRE's.

You might be better off hunting for a secondhand set. You should be able to find someone upgrading to aftermarket wheels and selling their OEM

Has been discussed at length on here - know some guys run it, just do a quick Google search.

Personally I'd stick with sedan rims for a sedan if I could find some but that's just me.

I think they will technically fit, but they are not a proper fit. The coupe wheels have different sizes and offsets, and are staggered. 20" in the rear and 19" inch in the front and at least the rears are wider. The coupe has a wider track in the rear and the front, whereas the sedan has essentially the same rear track as the regular C Class sedan.

Wholeheartedly agree. RIMS are easy, those powder coated ones look awesome. Paint, okay I get it, I was good for any color but black and that is all I kept coming across in the CPO's, and higher mileage

. When you are in the seat, driving and using the car's awesome features, does it really matter what color it is? I mean I would have gotten a black one if I couldn't find something around 80K as that was my limit I "wanted" to spend. Get your rims powder coated or buy a set used, they are everywhere. I have seen some really nice after market for <300 a rim I am thinking about for some winter tires-

Great points. I have had a car wrapped too..(pictured)...years ago that was 040 black......by the way: I never want another black car! There is always that option too, although it's not for everyone......down time with the car is one big one, especially if it's your daily......another is cost as it can be pricey. But hey, getting to choose the color and finish that's only temp is really cool. Sorry about the thread jack OP.

I just called 2 Benz dealers in my area for pricing on the silver cross spoke rims for the C63s coupe as I plan to swap out my black rims when my car arrives. They were both in the neighborhood of $14.5k for a set!!

C63s Coupe
Definitely don’t order an OEM cross-spoke set from the dealer. I’ve inquired before and like others have said, my dealer also quoted me north of $10k. The only sensible time get them from factory is to add them at time of build.

I’d keep an eye out for the marketplace here and other secondary market sites. The cross-spoke sets come up fairly often, just make sure you get the right ones since there are variants (sedan, coupe 19/19, coupe 19/20). Sometimes there are even fresh take-offs from factory.

In terms of the paint, in my opinion XPEL PPF is totally worth it. I also got my car in selenite grey metallic by the way. Didn’t bother spending money upgrading to factory magno since I’ve always planned on getting it PPF’d to matte to begin with. Worth every penny IMO for the peace of mind since I daily my C63S, and the PPF makes the car really simple to clean.

C63s Coupe
Just to add, I went through much of what you’re going through now because when I ordered my 2019 I didn’t upgrade to the cross spoke. That’s because I didn’t realize until too late that the 2019 (first year of facelift) came with different 5-spoke wheels than pre-facelift (which I would have been perfectly fine with, see pic below).

Good news is if you’re patient, you should be able to sell the current set and get the cross spokes you want for about the same net price as if you’ve gotten it from the factory from the start (which is what I ended up doing). It’s just more of a hassle.

At the end of the day though regardless of wheels or paint you now own a beast of a car. Enjoy the ride and try not to get too caught up in the details.

Do you mind posting pics of your car before/after the PPF. Selenite grey metallic is my least favorite metallic color but my favorite "Magno" color. If it was up to me I would have gotten the iridium silver metallic with black/red interior!

But the selenite grey magno is UNREAL

I think they are BC forged 2 piece. Certainly eclectic taste but not for everyone.

Someone had a MB spec set for sale online (I think on e-bay and maybe even here on marketplace) for a long time. These designs are you either love it or hate it.

I like that it's different, and very aggressive looking especially from C3504Matic's vantage point.

Sure man. I also did some other things like blacking out mirrors, window trim, tint, etc.

Exactly what I'm going for. Have your same spec beside a sedan and can't wait to do those mods

That looks so amazing! I was never a big fan of the selenite grey metallic, but it's rapidly growing on me every time I see one as nice as yours. I like the look before and after the ppf, they both look so wicked.

Do you mind sharing what the cross spoke black rims ran you? I'm trying to gauge where to price those when I put the same exact ones up for sale in a couple of months. I might sell the entire set w/tires since I plan to upgrade to 305's on the backs and 265 or 275's on the front.

They are very different and they do look aggressive and thats why I chose them

I wanted these but they were a one off apparently for a display car and they wanted almost $15000 for them

One thing I always wondered - from the left and right side view of the car it looks the left and right side rims are different (like the points in the triangle on both sides point forward). When you order these do you really get 2 left and 2 right?
