Looks amazing.

sirees01 -- are those 19" wheels? I believe the EU version of the ML63 comes w/ 19" not 20" is that right?

It probably is. But " CUBANite " won't go in the US, especially south Florida for obvious reasons.

It is. Cubanite is the same exact color as Pewter, just named differently for the US.

I wonder if those 19" AMGs can be ordered in the U.S.

I know the 20's are available, but I'd like to put those 19's on a ML350.

No can do. I tried and the dealer told me no way. I would like a set of 19s for the winter. BTW I had a spaziod move last week and nailed a curb doing about 20 mph. Thought for sure I crack or at least bent my rim but it was fine. I did however put a slit in my tire. The good thing is that is was ONLY $375 for the new one. WTF

Ouch! Sorry to hear that. Thats why I want to go w/ the 19's .. w/ the 20's I really can't afford the $300+ tires! If I could, I'd just get the ML63

This type of thing really bugs me. MLs are made in the US yet US customers can't order a wheel offered to the EU market, but is IN STOCK in Alabama at the factory.

MB is completely nuts these days. My first and only visit to a dealer about a ML350 and they were very confused about just about everything .. which wood trim, etc.

First time I've seen one in that colour and with them alloys it's a real sleeper.
