I take it this is your first BMW/Audi/Mercedes? If you aren't tracking your car you can use something like this to hang your wheels if you're only taking them off a couple times a year. It's called a wheel stud alignment tool and costs around $10-15 from Bavauto or any of the online parts stores. Much cheaper than buying 20 studs and nuts.

Thanks for the suggestion Twixboy! At this point I am not planning on swapping wheels regularly so I'll go with the pinning tool for now. Yes, its my first German car.
