Cars leave factory with twenty(20) of those lugs in the wheels. Wheel locks are a later on addition by "port" prior to shipping to dealer. This is not just GLE specific, but MB procedure across all its models.

I find that odd because our GLE was sold to us with black locks, but silver lugs- pic below. Have any of you guys tried to find black lugs? Otis may have some that will work, but not quite the same spec, special order, no refunds and they’re 7.00/a piece.

I definitely appreciate all the insight here- thanks guys!
