Lug bolts - M14 x 1.5, 27mm length, R12 ball seat - set of 20 - brand new
Bought these lug bolts for what I thought would fit my new aftermarket wheels; but they don't. I bought these from Otis Inc LA, who makes European bolts as well as sells RAD brand European bolts. These bolts are completely brand new, they've never been torqued or stressed. They're not cheap China junk either.
Cost me $56 new after shipping. Make offers. Ready to ship via USPS Priority Mail.

Advertized Sizes must be wrong (backwards)
The sizes can't be as your title says, no wheel with a R12 ball seat is drilled for 14M. Wheels with 14M lug bolt holes automatically have R14 seat by default.
No one is putting older 12M (R12) wheels on a car that is designed for 14M wheels.
But, many are putting the newer 14M wheels on the older 12M cars, hence your lug bolts Must be M12 x 1.5 26mm R14. Just looking at your pictures I can see the oversized ball seat on these M12 lug bolts.
I know because I have a set of these that mount my SL55 wheels on my R129, but you are right about the quality, they are excellent lug bolts.
A good advertisement might read, want to mount new M14 wheels on you M12 Mercedes, these are the lug bolts you need, if the length is right.

Using bluing ink on one of the bolts, upon seeing the paint transfer of a very thin inner grab of the R12, I purchased some R14's, thinking my new wheels may use "stock MB" R14 radius. That wasn't right either, as the R14 grabbed the outer edge on the wheel hole. Turns out my aftermarket "MB sized" wheels are actually R13 radius. I went through all three radii to find the right one.
I believe this M14 R12 radius may be used on Audi/VW wheels, but I'm not sure. With aftermarket wheels though, it may fit a whole bunch of wheels out there.

My listing is correct. Thank you for the post.
