ITEQ Protective Wheel Lug Nut Socket for Mercedes 17mm Convex (Flower Head) — 1/2" Drive

Maintaining wheels on modern luxury cars often means working with specialty lug bolts and tight, recessed fasteners. The ITEQ Protective Wheel Lug Nut Socket is built to address these realities. This tool targets the 17mm convex, flower-head lug bolts used on many late-model Mercedes, and it expands its usefulness to other brands you may service. With a robust 1/2" drive, it works with common impact wrenches and hand sockets, allowing you to tackle lug removal with steady torque while protecting the wheel surface from scuffs and scratches. By combining Mercedes-specific geometry with durable construction, this socket supports cleaner, safer, and more efficient maintenance in home garages, service bays, or restoration projects.

Compatibility and reach at a glance

The socket is designed for 2007+ Mercedes CL, GL, GLK, GLS, and S-Class models that use 17mm convex lug bolts. Its versatility extends to other vehicles and bolt patterns you may encounter in mixed fleets, including select BMW, Audi, and Mini Cooper setups. An extended 85 mm length provides a reliable grip on lug nuts tucked in deep recesses, reducing the need to reposition tools mid-task. A bright red protective sleeve guards wheel lips and finishes during removal, installation, and torque application, delivering practical protection against accidental marring when you set the socket down or manipulate it.

Real-world use scenarios include routine tire changes, brake service, and wheel maintenance where a stable grip and controlled torque matter. The tool’s Mercedes-specific geometry, paired with cross-brand compatibility, supports efficient work while helping keep wheels looking their best. Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or a professional technician, this socket is a thoughtful addition to your kit that may make maintenance tasks smoother and more predictable—without promising specific results.
