The original question was asked by George DeVeau, but I'm
not sure if Roland's answer addresses exactly what George
was asking.
Certainly once the wire wheel has the knowckoff installed,
there shouldn't be any play between the spline and the wheel.
BUT...if the 2-3 degrees of play is present when the wheel is slid
on the spline prior to a knockoff being installed and tightened down
then that'd be totally acceptable as I see it. Maybe George can
clarify the exact nature of what he is measuring...with or without
the knockoff installed.
