Most Costcos, etc. will probably not have that socket. I suggest you buy one (https://www.ultimategarage.com/shop/...oducts_id=8303) and provide it wherever you go.
Also, you don't say what wheels you have, but unless it's the 19s you cannot simply switch front to rear because the offsets are different. Mercedes make some questionable choices sometimes!

do you know what the real difference between NS.MB and NSB.17? Both of them are identical 'mercedes flower' lug socket. The description says "For new bolts with little or no deformity, go with the newer NS.MB . For older bolts where the aluminum cover has been deformed through the use of impact drivers, you'll have to use the older NSB.17 socket", which I don't understand and why?
I assume you bought the NS.MB ( white sleeve, $14) one?
