The only wheels available for US R63 are the 20 inch. 21 are not listed as an option.

Dealer says no 21s in pipeline including 4th quarter. Says he confirmed with MBUSA. Where did you obtain your information regarding 4th quarter availability?

I aslo agree that 21's look better -- but have you considered the reality of available tires?

I would think that it is very possible that there will be more options in fitting a 20 inch wheel than in fitting a 21....

Anyone else?

Dealer called today and said MBUSA had changed the standard wheels to the 21 inch. No other size available. Ml 63 will have 20 inch wheels.
