First of all, hello everyone! It's nice to finally join Merc family here.
I just ordered a fully loaded 2017 E400(luxury exterior) with beige designo interior for my mother. We are very excited about this new car.
However I'm a little confused about the wheel. On the brochure, it say it comes with 18 inch twin-spoke alloy wheels, but on the picture it's a different one. And my dealer insists it will be the same one on the picture.
Unless my understanding of twin-spoke alloy is wrong, it doesnt make sense. IMO I think the one on the picture doesn't look good on the car. Can any confirm if this is "the" twin-spoke alloy wheels?
Yeah you're looking for the Amg twin spoke which you won't be getting ... Those are technically twin spoke in that picture and I agree they are hideous
oh no. I dont get why it's called twin spoke and it doesnt match the car at all. do you think Mercedes dealer can get me a proper twin alloy wheels since I didnt get 1 cent discount from mrsp

It's always worth asking but a dealer that doesn't give a penny up is no "dealer" at all and no one I'll do biz with
They have the advantage now since you finalized the deal and now are coming back to the table
They may give you lower price on 2016 wheels and tires ... But you will get no credit for the wheels on your 2017. You can try and sell them

Well I only put down $2500 for deposit and they said I can get a full refund if don't like the car since we havent seen it personally. So I guess I still have some leverage. Will try to talk to them about it tho.

The E Class sedan is MB's "bread and butter" car. They sell zillions of them and deals are ALWAYS there to be had, with the possible exception of when you want to be the first kid on the block with the brand new model. If it were me, I'd hold off a bit and let some of these cars hit dealer showrooms. Look at the car in person, check out the wheel selection--which may include other choices by then--and then shop your local dealers for a good deal. There is no reason you should not be able to get at least a 10% discount off MSRP, later this year. Best of luck!
P.S. I could be wrong, but I believe they are offering a 17" wheel on the new W213 Luxury model. That's the one I would get for a more comfortable ride.

you are absolutely right. I should have waited, but I wanted to get it before my mother's birthday in October. That being said, today my dealer said he would work out a better price once the car arrives, probably get a a couple grand off, free maintenance for 3 years and tinted windows. I guess after all its better than nothing.

20" wheels on an E Class, are like 5" stiletto heels on a woman's shoe: The shoes look great when she is sitting, but hurt like hell when she wants to walk. The wheels look fantastic, but destroy the ride of the car. Both are ridiculous, IMHO.

currently have it on my 2015 S550 sedan. No matter what wheels/tires you have, your car will ride better with AirMatic. That said, a car with AirMatic, 17" wheels and conventional tires will have ride quality that is DAY AND NIGHT better than an AirMatic car wit 20" wheels and run flat tires.
