Curious which Mercedes it is that uses "lugnuts and studs."

If they don't use wheel studs and nuts, what do they use? I admit, I haven't had to take the wheels off of mine yet...

Same for Volkswagen.

Same for BMW.

It's a German thing.

Toolkit is supposed to have a temporary "stud" for hanging the wheel on when remounting. Good idea to be sure your toolkit has one before you need it. You can mount the wheel without one, but it won't be pleasant.
