I spin the wheel as I go so I am not hitting on the same “ear” of the knock-off. I have done that religiously for the 43 years I have owned my BT7 and never had an issue. When I worked in a garage that specialized in English sports cars, we used to occasionally get cars in that the owner said needed u-joints because there was a knock when braking or accelerating, It sometimes turned out to be the wheels and a few good cracks with ‘ole Thor corrected the problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>That said I have only seen a wire wheel come off once because the knock-off unscrewed. It was a TR3 that an uninformed tow truck driver had picked up from the back and towed “backwards”. Knock-offs undid themselves.
