Why do the German's use Lug Bolts instead of Lug Nuts?

I guess aluminum also doesn't rust but I don't think that would otherwise be an issue in this case even with steel. Ya I mean you are right it is lighter to have aluminum but does it make enough of a difference compared to an aluminum hood for example which MB likes to use and aluminum doors for example on the C-Class.

why lift the tire? Just lower the jack.

It’s my first time doing it, I’m using a big pneumatic jack, I’m worried about the whole car flipping down on the suspension and wheel wells. This is in a controlled environment! If I were using a manual scissor jack it would be different, can control the descent a little more easily. None of this is easy. I’ve changed plenty of tires out on the road before, just nothing like this!

I completely love my car, and I totally agree with the complaint poster above. I can love something and also be totally frustrated by it. I have not been happy with the wheel situation. I still go outside though and every day say to my daughter "ooh look how pretty and fast my car is". Like every time. She laughs. I still think this wheel stuff is insane. But I'm no engineer!
