which wheels to choose-standard or no cost optional wheel
After seeing the sales brochure thanks to stephens, which wheels should I choose, the standard one or the no cost optional wheels which I would get in chrome? I'm very torn since the E320 and E500 come with similar twin spoke wheels.
One other question, capri blue or midnight blue?
I realize this is all personal opinion, but since most of the posters on this forum are as fanatical about their cars as I am, I am curious about your opinions.

?Which wheels are no cost option? - the Double Spokes? If so get the Double Spokes.
That color option is a hard decide. I would need to see them up close to make that choice. Are those blues really going to be offered? I hope AMG cars come in more colors than the W210 E55. Good Luck!
Do you have the paint codes? Wonder why the Orion Blue Metallic that is offered on the C32 is not available?

The optional wheels are similar to those standard on the previous generation CLK55-solid 5 spokes. The standard on the E55 will be the double spoke. On the German car configurator, it seems that an E55 can be ordered in any E series color. I want a blue that looks like black at night.
Is it my connection or does it seem like this site is having problems tonight?

I like the new E55 twin-spoke a *lot*...so much so that if they were available in 17", I'd get them for my newly arriving E500 ... they seem like a minor variant of the AMG Style IV.
I've never been a fan of the monoblock solid spoke look. To me they look dated, seen them for years, etc. Not to slight anyone's monoblock-equipped car, of course.
