Thanks Nowhere Man read too many stories of spinners coming off wheels coming off damage to car and possibly people all of which can disappear with standard bolt on wheels. I won't be getting rid of them but i think the peace of mind is worth it

I got rid of mine. I never really liked the look. I mean I still have them, but they will go to the next owner.
