I don't think that wingnuts are very practical on a modern bike. They may, however, be suitable for a bike that's being restored with some bling. I recently saw a bike, at a LBS, that was in the restoration process. It was an older Carlton made Raleigh that the owner had painted (and pin striped himself). He had a parts assemblage that included a beautiful Chater-Lea crank and Normandy hubs with wingnuts. Everything very shiny and sparkling. I thought the wingnuts looked very appropriate for this nifty bike. (The bike was being set-up as a single speed).
