Does anyone have the part number for the OEM Mercedes Wheel Locks for a 2006 C230 Sport? I don't want the aftermarket ones because they won't match my other lug bolts.

 

BQ 6 40 8113

 

Thanks. I also found some at http://www.radusadirect.com that many here seem to like and they look like they should be similar in color to the stock lugs.

 

OEM Mercedes Wheel Locks are made by McGard,... more specifically McGard Ultra part# 28023SL
- total length is 61mm
- M12 x 1.5 thread
- R12 seat (radius/sphere/ball-type)
- 39.9 mm shank length
- 17mm width A/F (of 6 sided HEX bolt)

Problem is McGard & Mercedes have a deal where McGard can't sell these wheel locks in North America ,... but they are sold in europe,... and even with shipping it's still about half the price you would pay at your local Mercedes-Benz stealership.

 

Ah! I found that part number on eBay for $57 + shipping from the UK. Maybe I will just get the RAD ones, those are $40!

 

The Mercedes (McGard) wheel locks are also balanced to match the stock lugs, so it will not throw the wheel balance off. Some cheaper sets might not be balanced.

 

I bought the RAD 2145's from purems.com. After shipping came out cheaper than from RAD direct. Work perfectly and the finish matches the stock lug finish (that dull silver look, ugh).

As for the "balanced lug" thing, I don't believe in that too much. The lugs are too close to the center of the wheel to cause balance issues. Put that lug on the outside of your tire, and now you're talking.
