if you look in the 300 brouchure, it states that the tire pressure monitoring system is late availabilty.
My 300C was built on 5/50/4 and does not have it.

Actually, it's not my only complaint, but that wasn't the point. I don't know if any of you with the sunroof option are getting roof creak from body flex, but I sure am. I can also hear heat expansion in the roof panel (tink - tink - tink) whenever I go from a cool garage outside into the sun. So far, the dealer hasn't offered a fix. They said to come back after their tech had been 300 certified. There you have it.

The locks were lugnuts. This car has only bolts set into the wheel hubs. The wheels are attached with five lugnuts. One locknut goes on each wheel, replacing one OEM lognut.

Current lugnuts are about 1/2 inch tall, the locks were over an inch tall, thus the hubcap (cover) wil not go back on. No word yet from DC abut properly-sized locknuts. Will advise all when I get some other info.

Lugnuts are standard. I wonder why DCX has this picture of locking "Lugbolts" in the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum Accessory catalogs. Lugbolts are specific on Mercedes, BMW, Audi. Seems they are confused.

My local parts manager hasn't called me back yet; he said he had to do some additional research with Chrysler. I'll have to show him this pic.

Thanks very much E55 KEV; I really appreciate your help. You probably have found the solution here on "wheellocks" for this model series. I just thought DCX screwed up on this item as did my parts manager. Maybe DCX did consider the hubcap space when coming up with this lock system (AND FOUND ANOTHER WAY TO CHARGE Chrysler for parts for this car). :^((
Just got off the phone with my local Mopar parts manager. He states that Mopar has now recognized that both the pic in the 300 accessory brochure and their previous locknuts are incorrect and not valid. The locknuts I had were made for any 300 wheel which does not have a hubcap (cover).

Further, Mopar is developing a new lockNUT for the 300C or any 300 model with hubcaps. They will have nuts which are able to be fit under the hubcap.

So, we wait until this modified product becomes available. Probably a couple of month, IMO.

Thanks; that's the set I bought and returned which does not fit the 300C or any DCX car with these covers (hubcaps).

I'll advise the new stock number when I get the proper ones for the "C" model.

Definitely experiencing body flex with my blue 300C. The sunroof is sagging on the front edge by about 3/16". You can hear the car flexing when pulling in or out of steep driveways especially.

Anyone seeing the sides of their hood sinking??? The top edge on each side of the hood is almost 1/4" BELOW the top of the fender.
