I just received a wheel hanger that I ordered from Boothe (Porsche offers these as well). For those unfamiliar with the term, it is basically a long bolt that screws into the hub and allows you to guide the wheel in place. I haven't used one before but I can tell you that sitting on the ground and holding up one of our wheels during a changeover is really bad on your back!!! I think this is a smart safe way to put a wheel on and greatly reduces the chance of crunching your calipers with those heavy wheels.
Also shown is the "soft socket" (it looks teflon like inside). Both $29 from Boothe.

i already own a set. they're called my shins

sit on the floor with your knees spread apart. rest the wheel on your shins. skooch forward and close your knees until you get the proper height. doesn't get much easier than that.

 

Very cool. Boothe also makes some of the nicest lug nuts around. The issue with the soft socket is that it doesn't fit some non-OEM wheels such as the Kenesis F110's.

 

It's a must with the PCCB brakes.

 

My car came with that in the trunk.
