Wheel Bolt Shape vs Hexagonal?
I must be really missing something obvious?
My 2007 s550 has wheel bolts with a "flower-shaped" head vs. the hexagonal head usually found ...
1) are these the standard ? and
2) do I use a normal 14mm socket to remove/tighten them?
(May be silly questions, but couldn't find anything in the manual specific to the shape of the bolt...)
Thanks
