assuming that the monoblocks use ball seat lugs just like the factory wheels, the easiest way to check is to test them...
put one of your lugs through a hole in your spare tire and see how far it sticks out the back, and then do the same with your new wheels. they should both stick out the same amount, or at least damn close. depending on if they stick out more or less than with your spare, then you'll know what length of lug bolt to buy

find a mercedes shop that carries used parts... they will generally give you bolts for free. I did this, and I saved a lot of money because of it.

definately get lugs off the internet.

I wasted so much $ on lugs when I used to live in Canada-they're so bloody expensive up there!!!
