Most folks will make a visual inspection using the safety wire as a tell-tale sign. You will get many opinions on proper safety wiring. I place an ever-so-slight loop/curve in the wire so that if the spinner were to show signs of loosening, the wire would be straighter/taut.

Also, anytime that I remove a wheel and re-tighten, I tend to give that particular spinner an additional whack for the next few drives just to make sure.
