Only with the standard 18" twin five spoke AMG rim.Anybody got any pics of a white one with silver rims??
Are you talking about the standard 649 18 inch twin 5-spoke wheels or the optional 780 19 inch 16-spoke wheels?Anybody got any pics of a white one with silver rims??
Very nice! Can't wait to see one in the flesh. Thanks Homer!
wow this car looks sick with the full tint front and all around !Very nice! Can't wait to see one in the flesh. Thanks Homer!
I agree with the great looks of the silver multi-spoke rims. My young son, however, said 'OH NO please !' sigh...I know the 'youngins' love everything murdered out but I think the silver wheels are sleek and sexy.
That said the Cirrus White looks awesome with the Night Package and black 19" multispokes.

The black 19's are a much more current (young and fresh) fashion statement than the old school silver. I'm going with the standard 18's for ride quality. I believe that the 19's with the very low profile sidewall tires are going to be very firm and harsh. Unfortunate that the 18's on the CLA45 are the same 18's on the CLA250 Sport.I agree with the great looks of the silver multi-spoke rims. My young son, however, said 'OH NO please !' sigh...
The black multispoke is best on the white car and really stands out with the red calipers.
No probs. Thats the colour and wheel choice I ordered. Except in oz, we get black bits (night package IIRC), Pano roof and red calipers, which differs from the one in the picture.Very nice! Can't wait to see one in the flesh. Thanks Homer!
I am doing exactly the same and face the same dilemma. Other than the red caliper, it's identicle from the side.The black 19's are a much more current (young and fresh) fashion statement than the old school silver.

Outsider, there's at least one more option that we can explore for the 18 inch wheels. The wheels could be powder coated black to look like the wheel that is being offered as an option on the German version of the CLA250. My dealer mentioned that they have had very good success with powder coating wheels to meet customer requests. So we could get the 18 inch wheels for the ride comfort and then powder coat black to have a more fashionable look. My dealer says they charge $150 per wheel to powder coat. So that would still work out less expensive (4 x $150 = $600) than going with the $850 19-inch Black 16-spoke wheels. Here are a couple screen captures from the German CLA250 online configurator tool showing the Black twin 5-spoke wheels. Your thoughts?I am doing exactly the same and face the same dilemma.

David: I personally prefer the painted silver. Was at my dealership for service Saturday and since they have just about every car and model on display, I had a chance to see again the twin spoke silver painted 18" AMG rims and they are beautiful and classy. On a E350 Touring, they have a factory twin spoke AMG 18" rim with the inside painted not black but grey. It made the rim looks like it needs a wash. If you want a different look, grey may be better than black unless you have the night style package. I am still looking for the arrival of the CLA250 to check out the colors and rims but I may not have enough time as my order may turn yellow soon.Outsider, there's at least one more option that we can explore for the 18 inch wheels.

I don't have any experience with powder coating wheels. Anybody care to comment on their powder coat experience and the durability of the paint after a couple years?
