[Healeys] Healeys Tires/wheels lose

[JSARCH]

Interesting. The knock-off on my BT7 tighten while the car is driving. Below is an A.I. generated answer to the question “do knock-offs tighten while driving”:

 

Yes, knock-offs are designed to be self-tightening while driving, meaning they can become tighter as the vehicle moves forward. However, if they are not installed correctly or if the vehicle is towed in reverse, they can loosen instead.

Just a warning to all.  As you may imagine, sometimes our wheels may ? loosen.  Had my BJ8 on the lift today, checking brakes.  Jiggled the wheels, just because.  Rear left had “significant" lateral movement.  Took the old rubber mallet and had to tighten almost 1/4 turn.  Very scary.  Please check your wheels whenever your car is on a lift.  Happy rides.
