I have seen issues with aftermarket aluminum rims on hotrods coming loose due to the combination of not being supported by the hub, and likely from expansion and contraction of aluminum from heating/cooling cycles, and improper torque specs.
Just about every owner's manual says recheck wheel lug nut torque after 50 miles, but has anyone actually done that?
Jerry, no problem with your belt and suspenders approach with the rings, but I don't think it's really necessary.
