On my 124 cars, the nuts are copper I think, I know they are not steel.
They are one-time-use, designed to come off easily without corrosion
welding them to the stud.

Do not go to your local hardware store and buy the nuts they have.

Use the proper nuts supplied by Mercedes.

Use the factory copper plated ones.  Otherwise they tend to seize.
