They told me they sell bolts that will hold the wheel on but they do not have the double shank bolts that come out flush with the end of the 16" wheel.
Anyone that has any info for anyone still selling these would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help. David from Portland Or.

The reason Mercedes no longer sells those bolts is because they discovered a tendency for them to snap if torqued a bit too hard. My '96 E300D has the same bolts. Mercedes recommends swapping them for the shorter bolts. You may be able to find the longer ones used somewhere, just be careful who you let touch the wheels.
