Many moons ago I went thru the knocking wire wheel syndrome.  Tried the
overtight routine, pins etc.  After a while I noticed small hairline
cracks appearing in the wheel center sections, plus the center sections
were actually starting to balloon.
One day my right rear wheel center section split, promptly folding the
wheel & tire underneath the car and doing lots of damage to the inner
fender with only a slight bulge showing at the  body.  And too think, if
only I had used a little grease...
