Look like Mc Gard Home - McGard: Innovative Security Products Without the lock ID number you cant get a replacement key so you either going to have to get a garage to remove them or do it yourself, there are a few methods do a google search, also videos on youtube of different methods.

As mentioned they are Mcgard if you can get the code from within the packet they came in you can request a replacement from there HQ in germany i think it is. Done it before in the past.

Otherwise pop around all your local garages and ask them if they can remove them. It will probably cost £20 to £30.

there aren't that many different choices for mcgard - i have two keys from old sets, if you're anywhere near hampshire feel free to pop round and try them - i'll try and look at them tonight and see if any look likely.

These are the standard merc locking nuts (or were from my garage three years ago) so might be worth popping into the merc dealer to check out the above method.

be careful with getting a garage to remove them - gettting them off is no problem, its putting them on again thats the challenge (unless you want to bin them)

Mercedes have a choice of 32, If you go to Mercedes they will come out with a set and try each one untill they find the right one.
I was charged £20 a few years ago, the parts guy said the number of the locking key should be in the back of the service book - mine wasn't.
My key number was 16.

Ask a friendly hoodie in Liverpool, doubt they would be an issue for them.

They look exactly the same as the ones that came on my car from the factory.

Get an old socket, preferably a bi-hex one and hammer it on then you should be able to crack it off.

Locking wheel nuts are a real pain, I had a Jeep that had the nuts stuck on as the keys were too poor a quality to get the nut off. In the end I had them all drilled out and replaced with normal bolts/nuts and took a chance that the wheels would not be pilfered.
