HELP: Where's the socket for the car?
Wanted to swap the wheels out for my winter set, but notice the wheel bolts are kinda star shape, can't find any socket inside the car. I called my sales person up he said he don't know, but everything suppose to come with the car should be in it.
Does our car come with the socket? Or we have to buy from the dealer? Thank you!!

Are you talking about the one lug bolt per wheel that is to prevent theft (wheel locking bolt option costing $140)? If so, this socket comes with the car. If you are talking about all the lug bolts except this optional wheel locking bolt, a normal lug wrench works and this does not come with the S550.

Mine was located in the trunk under the felt floor near the tow hook. My car was prepared by the Baltimore Vehicle Preparation Center so my guess is all vehicles from this prep center should be similar. I would also guess that Savannah and Long Beach prep centers follow the same procedure.

Thank you for the help guys.
I checked out the whole car, nothing was in it beside a first aid kit and a tow hook.
JAN8OR, I will give it a try on 17mm socket tomorrow. Snow might come soon, I better act quick lol.
