VW guys use those a lot. ask the same question on the vortex. use the high strength locktite on the part that goes into your stock hub.

they're safe if installed properly, make sure they're hubcentric (which they look to be in that pic u posted)....install them, drive around for a few days, then re-check everything to make sure its tight and nothing is moving/shaking
