People that don't use them have a hard time lining up the lug bolts and it's also very easy for the wheel to slip off and land onto the dust shield, rotors and even calipers damaging the inside of the wheel barrel and chipping paint on your calipers.

I need to get some of those. I have dropped the wheels of my F87 before. Thanks!
