Swollen wheel studs - where to get not $10/per replacements
So apparently my wheel studs are swollen and I should be replacing them. 2014 GLK 350 4matic. One was chipped so I am short one most of the other 19 are rusting so I need to do something about those as well.
I called the dealer - $10 a piece is a bit much for my taste, especially when their likely to crap again in a few years time.
Where can I get reasonable replacements? I have the OEM rims so I don't need anything flashy, just reliable.
Thanks!

You mean the bolts? Not sure what that means. I had mine for 8 years and replaced due to being ugly and rusty. Get the ones with chrome star cap if you care how they look. Just google...many places sell them and sell sets of 20. Febi might be the OEM.

Thanks - I mean they are bolts or studs or something - not lugs like on my other cars. Any recommendations on where to buy the? Also - can I just replace the caps? I only need one of them and the rest I could replace the caps if that is an option vs. buying all new.
I appreciate the help!
