NYC Benz, will MBUSA be making the Hutchinson bead lock wheels available through the parts dept? Odd that a US made wheel would be a factory option in Europe but not in the US.
No, not if it was not available on US Models.
The Bead Lock Wheel was only on the 6X6, no 4X4 has the Self Inflating/Deflating Generators from the Factory (NA or Rest of World).
I have a deposit on a build in February that I would be willing to assign. It is black and cannot be changed. I am not a dealer nor am I affiliated with a dealership. Just a GWagon enthusiast whose plans have changed. If you have an interest please PM me.

The Bead Lock wheels are an option on the European G500 4x4 squared and as you indicate does not have the inflator/deflator that the 6x6 does. See MB Europe photo attached,

Interesting, I know they were going to offer an "off-road" package in Europe with the Bead Lock, however only photos I have seen were Pre-Production Cars.
Any further updates? Have any more arrived in the USA? I know my boat was supposed to arrive on 1-26-17. Was that the next shipment after the 1st ones?

No news to report, unfortunately.
None have been wholesaled, not sure what the delay is.
There are around 22 more on a couple boats on their way here.
My dealer told me today that he takes with Mercedes and the carrier and they are trying to figure out how to ship them enclosed as the height of the vehicle is too high.
Got an update, it's possible the trucks are going to be put on carriers today and tomorrow. Expect them to be at the dealer hopefully by the end of the week

The 6X6 in my sig was shipped to Utah in an enclosed trailer, so I don't understand the issue.

Craziest thing ever. At VPC they are saying my window sticker says Platinum Magno but the car is gloss black. They told me the color code for Platinum Magno is 41 and gloss black is 40 and somehow it got messed up.. They have no explanation except that MB-USA is freaking out and if I want it still if it is black.

Anyone looking to purchase the OEM 6x6 bead lock wheels, I have access to them PM me for more information.
Really wish all you guys that have these cars on order had been so into it when I was able to sell the same factory Portal parts as on the 4x4², would have saved you all a bunch of money and you could have had bigger engines. I did do a G65 Portal conversion that is out there on US roads, pretty sweet and way fast!

Wish I would've know it was possibly then. A portal G63 sounds good to me.
