I believe the safety wire on a wheel spinner is only usefull as an indicator that the knock-off has moved, not a device to prevent movement of the knock-off. This is contrary to the function of safety wiring on a bolt or nut else ware on a car. I put them on the wheel with a bit of slack, not like a guitar string. If a spinner should loosten, the wire will go taunt indicating movement of the knock-off. For that matter, should they be referred to as spinners or knock-offs? I've also heard them referred to as wheel nuts.
