GLS580 New Build - 23" Wheels Not Avail?
My wife's lease is up and it's time for a new build...
My dealer just told me the 23" wheels are not available until further notice...can any of you with recent builds confirm this?
Thanks

Ordered a 580 the beginning of September. Dealer just gave up a GLS63 allocation to get my build started in June. 23" wheels and Dashcam are not available with no expected availability date. Getting the 21s(meh) to use as winters with some kind of aftermarket(Vossen, HRE, etc?) to be ordered for warm weather.

You dont want them anyway. They ruin the ride. I use 22's and they are perfect. BTW even the 22's tires are ridiculously expensive. The 23's even more so.

The 23’s are to look at. The 21’s are to live with it in the real world. And even then, you’ll be replacing the rear’s every 25k miles.
We have two AMG’s in our neighborhood, and in my own personal opinion, the massive wheels look wrong. These are SUV’s, and those big rims and ultra low profile summer tires just don’t do it for me. I’d also be scared to death of every pothole and expansion joint in the road. The 21’s appear to be able to take a hit without damage.
