2022 CLA 45 AMG
The mountain grey looks great in the sunshine @Chemical7 ! Full disclosure, I ordered mine in April of '21. My car was supposed to be a 21. I told my dealer that if it changed to a '22 that I wanted the night package plus as well. They didn't remember that. Your car with the AMG night package plus looks soo good. Quite jealous!

Thanks, that was a must have for me! Sitting a stoplight yesterday, I noticed the car beside me doing the slow creep. The guy was staring at my car with head nods. We made eye contact and he gave me a thumbs up.

thoughts on 5 spokes? anyone order them? I initially thought they were staggered, for whatever reason, then switched it on the order to the cross spokes.

I also thought about the five-spoke — I ended up choosing the cross-spokes.
My allotment window is the third week of May I'm still pondering.

I think my build date is the same as yours. I was initially told 4/3/22 which then slipped to 5/3/22. I'm the sales rep messed up and meant decades not actually May 3. So here's hoping no snags and we see our cars in July.

I'll be curious to see how long shipping will take for our builds?

are the corss spokes on the cla forged like they are on on every other platform that I've researched? If so, it's worth it for that reason alone.

I'm sort of a big fan of 5 spokes. (Because Hot Wheels. Cragars. The Mystery Machine).


Ordered this in late January, 2020. Built, shipped, and delivered in 71 days. A record?

per MB_USA and the build selection, these are forged at a cost of $1,550 the twin five-spoke is a $300 option.

It appears that if you want the forged cross-spoke wheels after purchase it's a lot of $$$$!
Around $4K for a set of four.

I was considering dropping down to the five-spoke and removing a few other little things and adding the Dynamic Plus Package.
Making this adjustment adds about $1,400 to my build—this might be an unpopular opinion but I don't want another car with red calipers.
I love the understated look of the standard calipers on the 45.

They have not told me or many others what parts and that's disconcerting to say the least. Anyone know why mine was built 2 month going on 3 and not even 🚢 shipped I just hate her lies they said it was at port try when I did research they ammednded that I think they trying tell ppl at shipping but there's shipping delays we can't control eve though it's - Mercedes-Benz 100% that's very disingenuous and unethical but nobody does nothing.. I have been told by class action attorney to ask people that grot taken advantage of and relay the details so I can determine if you have a case as the lawyers told me what to look for thank you
