having trouble finding a car in the southern cali market with the base wheel package....wanted to know if anyone knows if they are a square set up or staggered

When I ordered my car, the dealer said he needed a $5K deposit, only because I wanted the 18" wheels, as the car would be "difficult to sell," if I didn't end up taking it. Just goes to show how far this large diameter wheels/low profile tire madness has gone.

You probably won't find a car with 18" wheels sitting on any dealer lot, pretty much special order only.

That's funny. Car deposits are refundable by law in CA.
I didn't see your build in your prior posts. Are you running Airmatic or MBC?? I'm curious to know if there's much difference with these suspensions on 18's.

yeah i might have to do that..for our 2010 and 2001 cars we got the amg packs, but not really needed for new one, dads car, he doesnt care, i got my own amg now so dont need to live thru theirs

only options I want to get for them is nappa leather, 3d burmeister, safety pack and the premium pack....thats all...nothign else

You are correct, and I'm quite sure I could have gotten my deposit back, had I canceled. I think it's a way of getting their point across that you will be saddling them with a car they don't want. No big deal anyway, as I knew I wanted the car.

I got MBC. I had 18's & ABC on my 2013 & loved it. I'm a ride quality freak and want the very best I can get, so for me, ordering a car without MBC was not an option.

Yes, MBC on 18's would be very rare. Did u test drive one with Airmatic on 18's to compare? If so, what was the difference like?

No, I never drove a non MBC car with 18's. Such cars, for the most part, do not exist on dealer lots and secondly, I just wanted my car with MBC and was not interested in comparing.
