Just want to comment on this (as I was going through this post looking for the lead hammer reform tool).

The above statement is impossible. The wheel cannot make the spinner move in any direction from accelleration or braking. The wheel is held in place by the hub pins, so the wheel cannot "spin" in relation to the knock off. A knock off can ONLY come loose from vibration, and usually if the wheel is not fully seated to the hub. This would allow "rocking" of the rim on the hub which in conjunction with vibration would cause the spinner to loosen.
