Stuck on the side of the road
Well, my stock lugnut wrench was too big to fit inside the holes of the Forgestar F14's.
Stuck on the side of AZ I-10, and 2 hours waiting for roadside to get a 17mm socket to fit the holes of the aftermarket wheels.
Also, I feel as if I'm not using the jack stand correctly, the car nearly tipped over, luckily the tire was on and lugs on too. wow! Any good lightweight SAFE! replacements as far as jacks go?
Now I carry a 17mm Socket, Ratchet and extension.
Still love my w211 E63 and no problems to date.

similar thing happened to me a couple weeks ago. Flat 2 miles from home. Had to pull over in a gas station to change it. Found an almost level spot Crappy jack tipped over 3x. Luckily first time, flat ttire still on, second/third time, trying to put the spare (18 oz racing tire i got). I always put the bad tire underneath the car for this very reason.
Damn benz jack is a real POS!!!!!!!!!
