E63 LUGNUTS NEW.... Who sells at best prices. RUSTED!!!

I am shocked my AMG E63 2007 has rusted lugnuts. Anybody else have this. Who sells them coated or original. May need to get them anodized. Not much wrong with this car at all but this shocked me. maybe the guy who owned the car near Long Beach was on the water. Hehe!!!! Any help of dealer let me know.

You can't anodize steel. Replace them with a high quality replacement bolts with a protective coating. RAD makes some very good bolts. www.radusadirect.com

This is an issue with all Mercedes, it's due to the metal the lugbolts are made out of. They should be chrome plated to aviod corrosion. I've heard of some people argueing their case with Mercedes for new lugbolts, free of charge. If also heard of some using teflon spray. Good luck

Just spray paint all of them. They will all match and it will cost pennies apiece.

I powder coated mine black. They look nice, but they do chip easily.

I complained to my dealer about this and they told me it was the type of wheel cleaner I used. I laughed and said "soap and water????" Not worth my time to argue, but I spray painted them 2 years ago and still good as new.
