OEM replacement chrome wheel bolts?
Could someone point me to a website where I could order direct replacement quality chrome wheel bolts for an 07 e350 with sport wheels? I ordered some random wheel bolts off ebay, but they arent the same length, the plating is bad, the seat on them seems different, etc etc. so i dont feel comfortable using them.
Thankyou!
Thankyou!

They're not that expensive from a Mercedes dealer, especially the online dealers. Plus, they know which part you need.
As for chrome, that's something you don't want.

Well, the mercedes ones that are on the car already have surface rust after 30k miles, which is why I thought I would get plated lug nuts the second time around. not a good idea?

That is surface rust. If memory serves me right there is a moratorium on plating in Germany. Those lug bolts are zinked and I would stick with that. Chrome plating will flake off in no time.
