Mercedes-Benz Accessories Adds New Light-alloy Wheels

Spring is here, so naturally drivers are making the switch from winter to summer tires, so Mercedes-Benz Accessories decided to offer new wheels to go with the change. Meeting the same specifications as standard production wheels, the new, bichromatic wheels sport a single-tone paint finish, lending the vehicle a more exclusive appearance.

"Both the studies by our colleagues at the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design studios throughout the world and intensive market research reveal one and the same picture. Bichromatic wheels are becoming ever more popular," notes Klaus Frenzel, who oversees design development for new wheel models at the Mercedes-Benz Technology Center.

For spring 2011, Mercedes-Benz Accessories is offering new light-alloy wheels amongst others for the following model series (as per March 2011):
