amg4rl, please email me the serial number or order number of your wheels, and I can verify if your lug should be conical or ball seat. I believe they should be conical, you could probably check yourself with putting a finger in the lug hole.

PM's are out. Check with your wheel manufacturer whether you have the wheels manufactured to accept the OEM Mercedes hardware with ball seat lug bolt or aftermarket conical seat lug bolt.

You have to call ADV1 and find out whether your wheels are made for conical seat bolts or ball seat bolts. If they accept the ball seat bolts (OEM style mounting hardware) then my locks would work with no issues. You have a PM

Yes. These are designed to work on the stock wheels.

Firstly, because the bolts are from Japan, there are no keys widely available for them. Most thiefs have a collection of locks for your standard locks that are sold in the tire stores. Secondly, you can't grab onto the top of the lock and take it out because the protection ring freely rotates around the bolt. Lastly, the area between the lock pattern and the protection ring is too narrow. you can't just hammer a socket in there and unbolt the lock. there is simply not enough space.

John,

they will not. Your forgestars only accept the cone seat bolts. I can order something like this for you but it will take 3 month.
