They're the optional 18" ones.

I have those on my 2013 and I had to special order the car to get them. They are actually the standard 17" wheels but every 2013 I have seen has the $108 optional wheels or the more expensive 18" wheels. I didn't want either of the optional wheels. It has been almost 6 mos. now and I have yet to see these wheels on a new ES.

Ah I see.

So the 17 inch six-spoke wheels are also offered in the American market? (just that it's not so common over there?)

Those rims are amazing

They change the look of the ES completely

Just like the AMG Sport kit on the E-Class

Unfortunately we don't get that option here

It looks like from the 2012 ES.

Like the headlight washers. I wonder if they offer dynamic headlights on other countries.

Those are the base 17s, different from the 2012 17s. I much prefer the optional 17s.

I like the looks of the 18", but not the ride or noise. Then again, it doesn't matter since I've already made a boo boo on the new wheels. I just hate that.

You mean you scuffed one? Thats no big deal, just get it repaired. I had a scuff on my 2010 ES fixed for $30.

What do they do for $30? That's how much they charge to just repair a flat.

They ground out the scuff, and painted to match. It was a very small scuff and the guy at the dealer just did it off the books.

Well, I guess it's more than a scuff. $30 will get you a handshake and an attaboy over here.

The wheels pictured (the six spoke 17") are the standard wheels the 300h comes with in Canada.

As well, we don't get the bamboo trim, but we do get bird's eye maple wood trim over all the same areas as the US model as well as over the center console area around the gear shift and the the shift ****.

On the down side, we don't get the enform system or any of the associated apps here.

Even if its more though, you absolutely could not tell where the repair was done, so your issue can definitely be fixed. Normally I think they charge $120 for such a repair, but the guy was there doing cars going on the CPO lot and had everything mixed, so he just did mine real quick.
