I'm not familiar with the Rudge Whitworth spinners but I have Trigo wheels with the appropriate hubs and they have left and right hand threads for the right and left side of the car. As you say the forward acceleration motion of the vehicle tightens the nut. Braking must undo the nut. I suppose this is the reason for the retaining wire. I'm now suspicious of whether I need to wire my spinners. I doubt though If I'll ever produce the 'G' forces that will undo the spinners...so I'll stay with no wires until I find a loose spinner.
