Euro-spec GL 63 Wheels

How would one go about buying the Euro-spec GL 63 wheels? Are they available through the parts department in the USA? Does anyone know how much are they per wheel (with or without tires)?

I attached a picture of the specific wheel I am referring too. (I saw these on the Canadian web site)

Those are optional in Canada on the GL63.

Thoughts on these 23" wheels from Barabus on a steel grey GL63?

if your thinking about ordering them from MB direct be prepared to shell out $$$ they charge an arm and a leg for OEM rims (not including tires). I paid $2900 for my sport package which had:
AMG Exterior Package
AMG Styling Package
Adaptive Damping System (ADS)
AMG Body Styling
21" AMG Wheels
Aluminum Running Boards

... If I wanted to get the rims after the fact it would have cost me several times that just for the rims alone.

a cpl years ago i was told it 3500 a rim (seems pretty excessive) then later i was told 1500 per rim (preowned), so yes i agree, adding on later is very expensive.. the euro spec rims are nice, but I think the other 2, 21" designs are nicer.. these are too simple for amgs and i think will get boring soon, I anticipate they'll end up for sale (on ebay etc) soon, from those who'll switch them out

yep its ridiculous the markup they slap on, I was quoted over $16,000 for the same rims and tires I have now. Similar rims none OEM on ebay are between 3000-5000 excluding tires which is still more than I paid.

Similar to MB MSX rims, including tires for under $2000
