Knock Off Wheel Safety Wire

[Obsessive]

I have owned and driven several other cars with knock off spinners, all of them wire-wheeled and made in England. While none of them ever had any provision for safety wire, it should be recognized that none of them had anything close to the rear wheel torque of my 427. Add to that, high speed braking and absolutely no way of hearing the beginning of a loose spinner over side exhaust and the decision to apply safety wire feels like a no-brainer. It's easy to apply with decent safety wire pliers and looks every bit the part of a 60s race car. The only modification to the spinner needed is to drill a single hole and that can be done in minutes with the most basic cordless had drill. Why would you not run with safety wire?
