The wheels are important maintenance by themselves. BUT...

I don't have the stock brakes, so I'll pass on that.... But I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to just pull the wheels off and have a little look-see at what's going on. Even if you can bleed the brakes with the wheel on, I know you can't do it without putting the car in the air. And if you're doing that, you might as well just take the wheels off. Whether they're lug nuts or spinners doesn't matter. It will only take a minute and the bleeding process will be easier with the wheel off. And you might see something that's important. And while you've got the car up in the air (safely) sit on a stool under it and study it. Look at every piece, and look hard. Think about what you're seeing. These are really simple cars and you don't need a mechanical engineering degree to understand them. But they can come apart easy. So get under there and do a lengthy inspection. Another option is to take a shi*load of hi-resolution shots while you're under there and then study them at length.
