Only color missing from the 300 Lineup!

[E55 KEV]

The Chrysler 300 and the Dodge Magnum share 5 colors of the 7 available for 2005. They each have two distinct colors. The 300 would look very good in Mineral Grey Metallic:

[Submarine]

look the export version of 300:

Personally I don't like any of the 300c colors, and eventually picked magnesium which is actually more like Teal, with more green than I prefer.
Black is actually my favorite, but I have been driving black cars for too many years and I am just burnt out on black.
I have seen other pictures of the Magnum Metallic Grey and really liked it, although I would have liked to see it in person. There is a good chance I would have picked the Metallic Grey if it were available on the 300c.

Another thing I don't like is the shiny chrome rims on the 300C and prefer the less shiny Magnum rims.
I didn't think the Magnum rims came with the 300C until I saw the pictures you just posted.

How do I get the Magnum rims instead of the 300's rims?

My 300c is still on order and was in BX when I checked last week.

Would I have to special order the rims and ask my dealer to exchange them for free?
I will need to find out if the 300'c rims are priced higher/lower than the Magnums.

Here is another picture of the Gray Metallic
and a video of the Concept Magnum in Gray Metallic.

The 300C pictured is an export version..

They also do not sell the Dodge Magnum in Europe...

To get the Magnum Polished rim on a 300C from the factory you would have to move to Europe! You can not special order the Magnum Rims on a 300 in the US. You would have to work something out with your dealer or the Parts Department for a trade-in or swap of course it would be to their advantage price wise.

www.leeauto.com lists the 300C Chrome Clad rim for $124. It has been removed but the Magnum Polished rim was listed as $224!

I agree with Joey. I would have liked mineral gray or charcoal grey (with a BLACK interior, damn it!). I went with Magnesium also, which looks quite nice, but whoever chose the 300's colors should be horse whipped and made to wear women's underwear on his/her head.

I now see the European clue - the middle back seat head rest.
Guess I will call the dealer to see what it would take to get Magnum rims.

Any Magnum buyers out there want to swap rims?

Chrysler should have saved money by not needing two rear seats in inventory - one with 2 and one with 3 head restraints! Headrestraints are required on every seat in Europe. Mercedes and others send their cars to the US with the same 3 rear restraints although not required. Chrysler should do the same. That would cut down on part numbers and inventory.
