ML wheels on a R350

The wheels are thinner and require a shorter bolt. The bolt for the 19in R is 1.77 in long and the bolt for the 17in R is 1.089 in long. I can not find a listing for short ML wheels. Anyone tried the short bolts?

Yes, I've done this.

The bolts are available from the your dealership, but are appr. $5 per piece.
I found them (almost certainly made in China) on Ebay, from a seller in California.
If I recall, cost was about $30 + shipping for a set of 20 bolts.

I'm not concerned about the provenance - I've driven over 2 million miles personally in many vehicles
Never have I had a bolt or stud break save once - this was due to severe over-torque.

Sorry can't provide a link to seller / at work currently.
