I agree with Chris on this on.
I have been involved with AGT, World Challenge and
SCCA Pro Racing for years and have seen unbelievable
wheel applications withstand extreme race conditions.
They hold until they come in contact with solid
objects.  Most of the time when two wheels or even
four go off the track they hold.  When wheels have
come off it is usually a broken spindle or loose lugs
(happens all the time).
