Wheels! Help! How Did You Get Amg Wheels?
Hey Guys,
I have a december delivery orion blue/grey Sl55. I want the AMG wheels that the car is pictured with in most brochures (the wheel with the many thin spokes). I would like to hear from US buyers how they got these wheels... From what I understand the car comes with the standard blocky AMG wheels... My dealer says I have to buy the other ones in addition and install them when it gets to the dealer. This just doesn't seem right to me, and it would cost a fortune.
Thanks!
Justin

The wheels are a no cost item, but must be picked at ordering time. My neighbor just got his Orian Blue with Ash SL55 with chestnut wood and AMG multispoke wheels, the car looks great!!
It drives even better!!
If the dealer did not ask you what wheels you wanted that could be his or her fault, the no cost option was on his computer when he ordered the car for you!
Good Luck!

In the US, this is a no cost option. Just order the 18" Multispoke AMG Wheel (code 791) instead of the 5 spoke wheel.
Don't pay anything extra...

AHH so fustrating!!!
It's so hard to deal with MBUSA! I just want to change the wheels on a car that wont be completed for a month! The 5 spoke AMG's are so boring!!! Does anyone have any suggestions on who I should call to take care of this? THe dealer is helpless.. they say they can't change an order once the computer says NO.. and the mbusa customer service says they don't deal with ordered cars.
Thanks.
