these also have a TUV approval meaning they are legal in europe on such places as the autobahn meaning they far surpass the safety regulations of the US.
people have been using these for years in europe and here in america

Its not the safest way to be installing wheels on a car.
Would you want to install anything on your wheels that has "wobble" in the name?
And there is a reason they don't use that method anymore, ever think about that?
the only thing that moves is the part that moves is the seat of the bolt since with the lug pattern is a few mm off. everything else goes on just like a regular lug nut, just has more technology. what in your opinion could go wrong with it? even if the seat was to somehow breck of even if half of it was but on the top nut that holds the movable ball of cone seat would still be against the wheel would still be on tight if you torqued it to spec

I've seen lugnuts like those break apart, the wheel was damaged, and not reusable. I don't know but I just picture the bolt shearing off because of the 'wobble' effect. Just doesn't give me any comfort knowing people want to put something on their car that doesn't belong or isn't designed to fit the car properly.
Its like when a certain people recommend using Diamante calipers, brackets, etc...without having any concrete mechanical experience to be recommending such a thing. Not saying you don't have mechanical expertise though. I just don't see this being a good thing, or something that should ever been used on a daily driven, or especially a race driven car. There is a reason OZ, nor any race or mass production company uses these things.
the only way i would rock those is if the the hub and wheel bore are exactly the same or if you got centrifugal spacers.
