I did not know the base non forged wheels were Dual toned. I thought they were polished all the way around.

There were also chrome 20s that were offered as the base wheels, prior to the availability of the multispoke rims that are pictured on the Hybrid model. I am not sure of the year the changeover from the chrome to the newer multispoke design ocurred.(It might have been in 2022?)
At my time of ordering my 2021 (which arrived as a 2022), in Canada, it really wasn't a matter of popularity or not, relative to the acquisition of the 21s. There was no stand alone option available here to upgrade to the bigger rims for appearance, If one wanted to pony up an extra 13K for the performance package you could get the 21s, but if not buying the PP, you would automatically receive the 20s.
I was actually expecting my vehicle to have the chrome 20s and was happy when they arrived with the multispoke 20s. Don't get me wrong, I would have preferred 21s as stock equipment but that just wasn't a possibility at the time.

 

^^^^The only other 20" wheel offered for the LC500 was a forged wheel. It came in a polished version, not chrome, from MY18 to MY20. For MY21 and MY22 the same wheel was available in a Dark Graphite finish. It was not offered in 2023. These wheels were the base wheel on the LCh in US market, but optional on other LC vehicles.

 

Interesting and yes, that picture is of the alternate 20 inchers I was referring to.
The graphite, multispokes are also still supplied as base equipment for non PP 23s here in Canada.

 

20" forged wheels were not available in Finland and possibly some other countries. It can have something to do with salt used during winter to help on icy conditions. Some manufacturers do not want to give warranty for severe conditions for some wheel models. Especially chromed versions but not just chromed ones.

Drove over to Mount Saint Helens yesterday

 

Let's make a pact as LC 500 owners to always close the door handles before taking such beautiful photos like this one.

Not gonna give it a like because i dont like what happened to you, but thanks for sharing. Fight those insurance bastards for every penny. The LC is a rare bird, and they better compensate you approriately

 

Out with the old (not really) and busted (not at all) AMG C63S and in with the new (well, that's true) 2024 LC 500
