One other bit of info that may keep the big hammer away from those shiny kn=
ockoffs. The design of the hub and knockoff is to be self tightening when t=
hings are assembled correctly. That assumes that you don=E2=80=99t drive yo=
ur Healey in reverse at crazy speeds, with panic stops.=20

A shop in UK, that=E2=80=99s been in the business of wire wheels for  nearl=
y a century, posted the following info:
=E2=80=A2 A spinner should be fitted with the wheel jacked up off the groun=
d so that the hub, wheel and spinner are all centralized.
=E2=80=A2 Apply the spinner by hand and tighten 3 to 3=C2=BD turns (may var=
y with model); give the spinner a couple of taps with the hammer; lower the=
 wheel to the ground and give the spinner a couple more taps.
=E2=80=A2 As long as the hubs are fitted correctly then the spinners will s=
elf-tighten and lock as the car is driving.
=E2=80=A2 If you hammer the spinners too enthusiastically then you will def=
orm the thread of the spinner and the hub and they are more likely to work =
loose.
=E2=80=A2 Over-tightening also means that if you ever need to replace eithe=
r the hub or spinner then you will also need to replace the other part as t=
he deformed thread of the old part will not fit with the new thread.
=E2=80=A2 If your spinners keep coming loose then it is probably because th=
e hubs have been fitted on the wrong side. For example, the left hub goes o=
n the left-hand side of the car as you sit in it, not on the left as you lo=
ok at it from the front.
