They come in both silver & black. If that’s the way your car was delivered get the dealer to change them.

They did the same with mine, my dealer apparently keeps a set of each color and swaps them when they notice. I had to ask and they did it at delivery.

Blacks were out of stock for several months last year. My dealers couldn't get them and all they could do was give me the part number, which I used to get a set on eBay. Prices range from list price to four times list price.
I'm still not sure if they're OEM cuz they look kind of wimpy but they do take the wheels off.

My dealer also tried to install the black locking wheel bolts on my GLE450, I advised it was unacceptable and they ordered me the chrome set at no additional charge. I agree with the OP, it just looks out of place with the black bolt.
