Corrosion to wheel bolts

[Mus]

Hi there,

If the wheel bolts are slightly corroded. Is it important to have them changed?

When is the right time to have them changed?

only cosmetic really... if you want no corroding ones go for a set of RAD bolts from www.alloywheelsdirect.net..

I have them on all my cars and they are much more resistant and feel better made than MB ones.

It's only cosmetic. M-B used to fit bolts with stainless steel end caps (the one on the right here):

But switched to the type on the left on cost grounds

As Jay says, you can get better bolts.
