For some reason - Wheel Bolts let alone wheel locks are impossible to find. I have a 2000 clk 430 which i just put 19's on and the guy who sold them to me has tried all his contacts but cant find wheel locks which fit without rubbin and makin a clickin noise when the car gets going. What is it that they are rubbin against and also - where could I get wheel locks - i dont want to end up on cynder blocks.

i bought a set that i bought from that guy ross at RIPP Modifications (ricer shop) down in tompkinsville on i think its lynhurst street. they are these italian joints that actually slide over your existing bolts like a sleeve and have a lock on the face. this type prevents any tye of tool or one of those alligator sockets from sliding over the wheel lock and freeing it.

i have 1 set of those on my wheels and then another set that actually replaces one of the bolts - i had a bad expeience a few years back.

heres ripps site and im sure their contact info is on there as well:

Very very less likly people will steal from a Mercedes., because the market for stolen goods. ain't that high on 5X112 bolt patten .., if not all or most of them are European cars.!
