Two-Tone Wheel Option

Has anyone seen or opted for the Two-Tone Wheel Exterior option on the GL550? I cannot seem to find much information on this $635 option.

Hmmm, I've never even heard of this option. It isn't listed on the 09 brochure, website, or the MB Dealer's computer configurator... what's the option code? If I were to get a 550, I'd like to paint the centers body color as well. I did it on my W163 and it was $250 a wheel, so $635 would save quite a little cash as well.

never heard of that one, but it would be boss! That in itself would be an awesome reason to get red.

I saw that $635 option the other day on the MBUSA site and thought it was just a typo considering the other wheel options are in the $2000s.

If you find out that the price is indeed true, please let us know cuz I like those wheels a lot!

The 20" two-tone wheels are a huge step down for the GL550. I don't understand why they are add cost when they should reduce the price if you add these wheels instead of the 21" AMG rims.
