I spent a couple of hours detailing the car inside/out yesterday so it should be spotless now. It's going to sit in the garage while it rains during the week so it doesn't go to waste.

'93 RX-7, SLK55
Wow! Perfect E55 - exactly how I would equip mine if I had an E (rims are very similiar to my Fikse FM10 on my RX7 & what I'm putting on my SLK).
Just keep safe.
Cheers,

yo mang. No new mods at the moment sadly - I did however add a small system to the car. Majority of the money right now is going to fix the engine. Blown head gasket so it's going in for a head/valve job after the meet.

If I'm doing it by myself it's almost impossible for me to hold the wheel on the hub, rotate it so I can see the holes, then screw the bolts in without having the wheel come off the hub. If I'm on a lift I can use my foot as a support but even then that's a little interesting.

Two long Studs will do it!
I would get two long metric threaded studs or all-thread rod (cut to length) with the correct threads to match the wheel bolts, and screw them loosely into two opposing wheel bolt holes, and then install the wheel spacers, wheel, and the other three wheel bolts snugly, take out the two studs or all thread rods and install the last two wheel bolts. - Bob
