I don't have my Cobra running yet but I've had Corvettes with KO wheels for 20-sum years. I don't understand the theory of the wheel pin recesses egg shaping from street driving. What holds the wheel on is the tension in the threaded hub and knockoff spinner. They are designed to be tightened to around 350 ft lbs of torque. If that tight, there isn't going to be any movement in those components to allow egg shaping the wheel holes. If the spinner isn't properly tightened, then movement may cause egg shaping, but that will be followed shortly by the spinner falling off and the wheel departing the car. Can't see how street or track driving would make any difference. Maybe someone sees something I don't.
