Here are my ideas!!
And many may disagree!
Wire wheel cleaning can become an obsession and (IMHO) take away pleasure from driving your Morgan.
I like keeping my 20+ year old 4/4 clean and on occasion, I do give a really good once over.
I have always carefully jacked one wheel at a time, but only until the wheel is just clear of the ground.
For most wheel cleans, I use a garden type squeezy spray bottle, combined with a spray of mountain bike cleaning spray and an old paint brush.
The car needs to be really filthy to do a full wheel off clean. Then I grease the kingpins, grease the hub splines and damper blades, with copper slip.
You have your car, you make your choice!
My 4/4 normally will cover 3k miles a year, with usually one or two trips to Europe (Le Mans, Montlhéry etc.)
I like to admire beautifully presented cars, but I more admire well used cars with a patina and a history.
“A car without a history, has no soul”!?

Ps just realised this was posted in the Plus Four and Plus Six section - oops!
So apologies for my 4/4 ramble.
Pps I also use motorcycle chain spray on the leaf springs and UBolts
