I've noticed these triple knife style wheels on classic cars... Are they for aesthetic reasons only or do they have james bond style some function

I think they're knock-offs, ie you hit the flat part with a hammer to remove the wheel. Not gospel, though.

The spinner is what holds the wheel on!
Used with wire wheels instead of wheelnuts.

Lol, badies, always make me laugh when i hear it for some reason.

Those particular one's are for aesthetics, they're basically the nuts to hold on the wheels. They generally screw on the opposite way, can be got in different shapes and sizes:D
