Not all Benz have disc brakes. A customer of a shop I was working in brought back a wheel from his 190SL with brake drum attached. It had fallen off the car as he turned into his driveway. The adjusting nut had been made too tight after a brake job and the spindle melted in two.
But please, this melodrama of wheels coming off or even bearings going bad if not serviced on a regular basis has absolutely no ground in fact.
