| I don't know about NZ but in the UK the SVA prohibits spinners / wingnuts on the wheels but they will allow a center nut that complies with the necessary radiuses for their safety. (Really how you can run someone over with a spinner is beyond me - the car would hit them long before the spinner.)
That said some people have used my bolt on wheels and tyres for the SVA test - after the test the car was altered to take the knock ons. this does not seem to be against the law! - After all you go and buy a Ford and then change the rims on a road car - no one minds - or you fit a roof carrier for the surf board, boot rack, spoiler , body kit or whatever - are these cars then outside original specs -YES but do they fail an annual check (MOT) NO.
Perhaps the Kiwi testers are more wide awake!
