Euro 380SEL 15" chrome wheels
Euro 380SEL 15" chrome wheels
I also got 2 euro triangle clips, two-tone horn switch and a euro headlight vacuum switch.
Question: Will the 14" bunt wheel lug bolts work with these or do I need new? I could only find 8 with this set.

Looks like its no after all. This is one of my 300's bunt bolts compared to the ones I found with the 380SEL.
1979 450SEL 6.9 - stock
1960 220SE
111 tube chassis car/undergoing full restoration. Body work in progress. Merging with a 1996 S500 (119 engine, 722.6 trans, and both subframes)
2005 S55 AMG - stock
1999 SLK230 Kompressor - stock
2006 SLK55 AMG - stock
Word of advise, try not to use the lug bolts on the right (the longer one) There is an updated bolt now that does not have that space from the head to the part that contacts the rim. Reason being is when the bolt has been on the car for a while the space on that bolt acts like a torque stick and shakes when you try to remove it with an impact and they will snap off. This now requires you to drill out the bolt, Big mess and not a lot of fun to do.

Thats exactly why I have the short style on my 240's wheels.
I wouldn't use these lugs anyways because of the rust.
