If this is the case, I really do not understand what the hell MB is doing. The new C55 will have 18 wheels and the rest of the AMG lineup has 18in wheels.

The CLK55 isn't exactly a cheap AMG model, it should be getting 18in wheels.

Ya I agree, you should consider calling mb customer service as well and ask them to run down the list? just in case the guy I spoke to was wrong?? then we should write a letter and have some, or all of us sign it. something stating general concern in not being given information which is found out by a 3rd party prior to our dealers. these cars are a big purchase. none of us should be kept in the dark!

that pic is definitely NOT magma red!

magma red is alot brighter than this, very similar to audi's LASER RED paint!

euro color combo's also have available a more rosey red called "amber red" and the interior comes in "berry red"

In Germany and Switzerland it's Feueropsl code 590. But for the SL you're right.

See what I'm saying...now we have one guy that is definite there will be 18 inch wheels....then another guy who is definite there will only be 17 inch wheels.



Its all until the dealership knows.

Good job guys at proving my point for me.

I didn't ask mb if there would be mars red. and again suggest someone else call mb customer service about the 17 inch wheels. the guy I spoke to read the new features from a list. but you never know?? I have a pewter 2005 on order and its due in late july, early aug. and have asked my salesmen to check into it. still no answer? i think today I'll call the amg plant in Germany, or try to. i can't take this wtf is the big secret. i mean i understand they want to sell all their 2004's but if the 2005 is 6 to 8 weeks away from delivery and my salesmen tells me mine is being built.
