Ken Shapiro,
I have always had spinners in preference to the hex nuts for two reasons.
First, the stupid little spanner in the tool kit is not up to the job and whilst hitting it with the provided hammer it always seems I am going to hit the wheel arch.
Second, once fitted and tightened, the spinners are self tightening and look the part but as always it's a very personal choice.
Why are spinners exclusively self tightening?
