I want to replace the wheel bolts on my 2010 e550. They are aftermarket wheels. The shorter one is the one that fits in my car. The previous owner gave me the longer ones below as spares, but they are too long. Any ideas which ones I need? Website? I'm looking for the chrome ones if possible.
They look like the ones I got for my Velox wheels (went to 17" wheels after potholes ate 2 tires). They said they had to be 'special ordered' because they originally sent me ones that were too long. The size that fit were 14x1.5 23mm/0.91." Maybe they can sell you some, or let you know where they order them from.

Thanks for the tip. For fear or ordering the wrong size and then having to ship-return it, I found a store around here that can possible match the lugs for me. I'll be heading down over there when time permits. I also in my research found some chrome tip covers for the lugs, which are actually made of cheap plastic, but decided against that route.
The OEM lug bolts are unchromed on MB's and have been for years. I was told that it is due to environmental reasons in Germany. Not sure if this is true or not, but I have grown comfortable looking at those rusting lug bolts over the years.

Yes, the aftermarket wheels I have are kinda "shiny", so chrome bolts would look good. Then again, I'm in NY so I can expect rust again very soon after the next winter. I'll try to see if shop has unchromed lug bolts that are still on the polished side.
