Do wheel locks come on C230K?

Do factory wheel locking lugs come on C230K? Mine is a few weeks away, but I didn't see any mention of it in my friend's manual, and I forgot to look at her wheels.

They didn't come even with my Evolution (c7) wheels.
I bought a set from the dealer, though.

they dont come with any..

but for about $75 you can buy them from the parts dept. I think they are essential but the views will change depending upon where you live.

You mean the MB parts dept, right? Are there any after market locks that work just as well or better, or is OEM the way to go?

dont know about after market

My car has a strange type of lug and only one type fits into the narrow space. So I just with the OEM... which is really made by McGard I think... I would bet that the after market ones are fine.. as long as they fit. I used them for years on other vehicles and they are made by the same manufacturer.

Mine came with wheel locks, special bolts for the spare wheel and a set for a steel wheel. Plus gloves and a drop sheet so I don't get dirty if I have to change a wheel.

Be careful with the aftermarket brands because of the bolt length and how the e-brake works on the MB. I ordered some from Luke at TireRack and he forewarned me that the McGard locks that come closest are actually too long and need to be trimmed. He ended up sending me a set that had already been modified, so no issues. If you end up using them at the stock length you'll damage the e-brake drum located inside the disc housing.

If you are nice to your dealer he may throw them in. They are not expensive.

IMHO $74 for 4 wheel locks is too much.

Be careful with wheel locks because MB designs the e-brake into the rear disc brake on the C-Class. Said another way, Mc-Guard locks, or others, might be too long and will punch out (destroy) the rear brake.

I got a set of RAD wheel locks for my coupes C7 wheels from HERE for only $29. The McGard locks are only $28. Both come in the proper length for the C7 wheels and other lengths can be ordered.
