Decided to go with aftermarket wheels and tires, so selling the original 20'' Night Edition set. These are the original Mercedes-Benz factory-specified Pirelli all-season radials. Size: 275/50R20. Ready to mount and drive! That's a good price, Im going to sell mine also when I get around to it. Im about to sell mine too. I am replacing them with the 21聰 five split-spoke AMG wheels available on the G63. Waiting on bumper plugs so I can get rid of the fugly bull bar and my mods are pretty much done. 25 miles on these.

Ready to mount and drive! There is going to be a glut of these wheels on the market as everyone removes and puts aftermarket wheels on their new Gwag. 25 miles on these. Does anyone know if the Nite rims are susceptible to getting cracked or bent? Or even if it is possible to scrape the rims since the tires are big they guard the rims? The dealer wants to sell me the rim protection package and my wife loves to find potholes to hit and curbs to scrape when she drives. 63 for winter tires (with outspacers). If i am not mistaken, the 20" wheels from the 550 might be tucked in a bit much on the 63 as they are 1" more narrow.

Mercedes-Benz has finally launched its subscription service in Nashville and Philadelphia, and with it comes a slew of details on how much the program costs and what vehicles are available. Three levels of subscription are available, each with a suitably snooty name starting with Signature, and going up to Reserve, and finally Premier. 495 fee for becoming a member. Unsurprisingly, the more money you spend, the fancier the cars available become. The Signature level includes all bodystyles of the C300, the CLA45, the GLC300 in normal SUV and "coupe" SUV forms, and the SLC300 roadster. Reserve comes with the E300 sedan, E400 wagon and coupe, C43 sedan and coupe, GLE350, GLC43, and the SLC43 roadster. The Premier subscription comes with the most impressive cars such as the E63 sedan, C63 sedan and C63 S coupe, S560 sedan, GLE63 S SUV, GLE S "coupe" SUV, GLS550, G550, and the SL550 raodster. If you want to drive something in a higher tier, but don't want to change your subscription, you can pay daily fees for a car over a short term until you change back to a car in your subscription. In addition to the ability to pick from a wide assortment of vehicles at will, the subscription also includes insurance, maintenance, roadside assistance, and no mileage limits. All that is needed to subscribe is to download the app to your phone, provide a copy of your driver's license, and have your credit checked and approved. Mercedes is far from the only company experimenting with a subscription model for cars. Volvo offers Care by Volvo with its XC40 crossover. 700 depending on trim level, but it only provides the subscriber with access to an XC40, whereas the Mercedes plan offers multiple models. Porsche Passport is very similar to the Mercedes program and is priced similarly. 3,000 a month program offers access to 22 variants of Porsches. Like the Mercedes program, there are no mileage limits and it comes with insurance and maintenance covered.





If you want to own the most rugged vehicle in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, you have to part with a colossal stack of cash. 200,000, you could drive away in a massive G-Class wearing the hardware from the mental G63 6x6 but with four wheels instead of the extra two. There's now a version of this Mercedes monster, and you can probably afford it. That's because it's a 1:18 scale version produced by GT Spirit. Mercedes-Benz handed over the original design information so GT Spirit could get the details exactly right. This means the level of detail is exceptionally high, and it includes features like perforated metal where appropriate and model logos on the wheels. In total, more than 100 parts make up what's probably the best example of a G550 4x4虏 in scale form. These units are produced in a limited run and they are made from resin, not diecast metal. Eight colors are offered, with each only produced in a run of 463 examples. That corresponds to the internal model code for the full-size G550, which is W463. You can choose between Diamond White, Electric Beam, Tektite Grey, Mauritius Blue, Sunset Beam, Alien Green, Tomato Red, and Galactic Beam. If you're interested in snagging one for yourself, your best bet is to ask the local Mercedes-Benz dealer to get one for you.





鈥淎 box with wheels鈥?is something of a risky design strategy for automakers. The Nissan Cube, Scion xB and Honda Element are all examples of discontinued models that never really gained much more than a small cult following in the U.S. 鈥?but the Jeep Wrangler and this, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, are iconic (if impractical) designs that have continued on successfully for decades. Read Bragman鈥檚 full view via the related link above, and go to our model page to research the Mercedes-Benz G-Class to see its specs and pricing. The redesign of the G-Wagen may have made it a little bigger and a little more civilized, but it鈥檚 still true to its roots. The exposed door hinges and rifle-bolt door locks are helpful reminders, as are things like the turn signals on top of the front fenders and the round headlights. The standard engine for the 鈥渆ntry-level鈥?G550 is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 good for 416 horsepower and 450 pounds-feet of torque.





If that isn鈥檛 enough, upgrade to the Mercedes-AMG G63 for a 577-hp version of the powerplant. The standard engine is enough to propel the G550 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, according to Mercedes-Benz 鈥?in an SUV that laughs in the face of aerodynamics. The interior quality of the G550 is incredible, with rich materials everywhere, and real wood and metal among the accents. The increased dimensions and stretched wheelbase make the 2019 G550鈥檚 backseat a comfortable place to be and finally allow the rear seats to be folded down without moving the front seats forward. To top it all off, dual 12.3-inch displays give the old-school G550 a modern feel inside. 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 Coupe: Why? 125,000 with destination, and in Mercedes-Benz tradition can be optioned to your heart鈥檚 desire 鈥?though your accountant might object. 150,000, which is coincidentally around the starting price for the G63 variant. The G550 also drinks premium fuel 鈥?of course 鈥?though 鈥済ulps鈥?might be a better word choice, with a 13/17/14 mpg city/highway/combined fuel-economy rating. While the twin screens are nice, the G550 also doesn鈥檛 come with Mercedes鈥?latest MBUX infotainment system, instead using the previous Comand technology. It鈥檚 not that Comand is terrible, it鈥檚 just that in a car like the G-Wagen, you should get the very best. The touch-sensitive steering-wheel controls are easy to accidentally activate, as well, which can get annoying quickly. Cars.com鈥檚 Editorial department is your source for automotive news and reviews.
