i actually bent my 18" 5 spoke AMG wheels pretty easily, was very disappointed.

btw, if you live in the major population areas of CA where most C63's are sold, take-off wheels are plentiful enough and a lot cheaper than $1200 because so many people upgrade to aftermarket wheels.


true....


Do you think I may be able to cancel these options?

Possibly, but you probably need to have a good relationship with your salesperson.

you can always cancel insurance, it only pieces of paper... i don't think insurance is worth it, because if you really jack up your wheels, that what auto/car insurance is for.

I don't think auto insurance covers dings and dents though or scratches to the wheels

Congrats on the C63. No M3 huh? To answer your question on the Lojack, did you order Tel Aid? I believe it is similar to BMW assist (correct me if I am wrong) in that in the event of theft, the car can be tracked anywhere on the planet via the service.. Lojack would not be necessary. Speak to your CA about Tel-Aid if you have it. Wheel insurance is a dealer gimmick. That is something you can add to your existing insurance policy if you choose. Enjoy the car this time around..
