Unhappy Wheel locks
I have a 2024 GLE 450 . Ordered it with wheel locks . It came in with black locks & the 4 other lugs are chrome on all 4 wheels . It looks funny to me , think VPC made a mistake . MY selling dealer here in FL told me if I want chrome locks I would have to buy another set . This doesn't seem right to me . Called MB customer service they could not help me ? . Don't now what to do .

My '23 GLE 450 came the exact way. I have the 21" AMG black/polished wheels.
Dealer stated same - That's the way the locking lugs come.

That was the case in 2021 as well, so I bought a set on eBay.


Different part number.

They did come in black from the VPC on my car too. I like it though, so more of a personal preference.

Side question... On the bottom right corner of the wheel I see something that resembles paint chipping? These are new wheels, so just curious of how this could happen.

Yep, I'm OCD and when I found out the wheel lock lugs did not all match I pulled them from my build

I had the dealership swap them to chrome ones at no charge upon delivery of the vehicle.
