Question Stay with 5 Spoke or Switch to Double Spoke AMG wheels?

Mercedes called me today and said that i had one of the 2003 CL55's that came to the US with incorrect rims and that I can exchange my 5 Spoke AMG rims for the Double spoke that apears on my window sticker at no extra charge. What would you Do?

Car is 2003 Silver/Char

I exchanged mine. The dual spokes look a lot better in my honest opinion. Read my Dual Spoke thread in this forum for more info.

I have one coming in in a couple of weeks, I can assure you that I will opt for the double spokes if they are not already on the car.
Both wheels are attractive IMO, but I like the double spokes a tad better!

It Varies
They called YOU? haha. Ive been trying to "call" them about it for a week now, with no solid response. Its a matter of taste, while the 5 spokes are indeed MUCH easier to clean and maintain. I think the double spokes are better looking. Let us know how it works out....where do u live? What dealer?

Thumbs up

I just had the same experience in Houston. No doubt IMO that the split spokes are a hotter wheel. They are on order. No questions asked. Dealer handled for me.
