Default Crimp, Clamp or Solder?

Nonsense.

Properly crimped, the wire will break before the crimp "works loose".

Your tire has multiple lug nuts to spread the stress, not because a
smaller number will "work loose".

Guess that's right, let's see now. Formula ! car wheels just have one big
lug nut, don't they?


Yes, and six drive pegs

so the nut only holds the wheel to the hub and doesn't take the stresses
of propelling the car.
