Anybody that thinks safety wire will keep your knock-off from loosening and the wheel from departing the vehicle is just fooling themselves. You would have to use a wire gauge that is so large that it would be impractical, think about the forces involved. Safety wire works awesome for light duty applications such as nut and bolt fixtures, etc. but you are playing with a lot of torque and weight with something as large as a knock-off and wheel especially when that wheel is rotating at any given speed.
