I don't use safety wire. I think it gives you a false sense of security. David is right. Beating the wheel on will cause excessive wear on the nut / wheel face. Check the nuts every couple or few hundred miles. DO NOT LETOTHER PEOPLE "HELP" YOU PUT YOUR WHEELS ON. The left hand side of the car will have left handed threads, the right side will have right sided threads. both sides tighten by hitting the nut toward the rear.
