I went to the pomona swap meet and got a full set of chrome lugs (for 5 lug) with wheel locks for like 36 bucks. It was a great deal. In retrospect I probably should have bought 5 or 6 sets and sold them on ebay for a slight markup. Oh well.

sounds like those are aftermarket Mecedes lug bolts if they have the 17mm head (no big deal)....just make sure they have the "ball" seating and not "conical" seating, otherwise a loose wheel will be in your near future...
i could have sworn someone mentioned that the "ball" is the wrong radius on some of the lug bolts being sold, make sure you test them to ensure you get the same contact with the mating surface on the wheel...paint or grease would work for this (make sure you wipe it off afterwards) |

Here's the description from the auction. They ship tomorrow so I should have them early next week.
"This auction is for a set of 16 of the longer lug bolts for the alloy wheels. These are NEW CHROME ball seat lug bolts and will properly mount the Fuch, Pedrini and Mahle wheels on your 914. The shank length is 38mm or 1.55". A set of 20 of these is also available. Check yours, if they look scuffed, scratched or scraped, now is the time to replace them at a Great Price! " |

they are still aftermarket Mecedes lug bolts if 17mm head (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
no big deal as long as they work...I'd lightly sand or scratch up the mating surface of the "ball" before installing........ |

Welp, Those lug bolts won't work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) They won't seat properly to the holes. Ahh Vell. Guess I'll have to return em. I was hoping they would work.
