depends on the weather
are you wanting a stud kit which replaces the lug bolts with studs and nuts or do you want better lug bolts?

It sounds like you are looking for alternative lug bolts to replace the Mercedes original equipment bolts.

The alternative Luke mentions would be to replace the OE lug bolts with studs that mount to the wheel hub and then use wheel nuts to secure the wheel.

I could be wrong, of course.
