Socket for "flower head" lug bolts
My new 2020 GLE is the first I've had with the Mercedes "flower head" style lug bolt. While a normal 17mm socket will work with these, it will deform them because they have aluminum covers. I found these at a vendor I've used before (very good customer service) that carries high-quality European tools: https://www.ultimategarage.com/shop/...oducts_id=8303. It's impact-rated.
As noted, they also have this version: https://www.ultimategarage.com/shop/...oducts_id=8744.
This is a very nice wheel hanger, as well (but no 15mm as for new GLE): https://www.ultimategarage.com/shop/...oducts_id=2846
