Nowhere did I say anything about using impact or anything else.

Again: as long as you have the proper lug nuts to be able to have enough area on the lug seat of a wheel, it is not a safety issue.

What makes you think using a wheel with 14mm lug holes is a safety issue on a car with 12mm studs? Let's assume large-enough lug nuts were used and it is torqued down to manufacturer's spec without an impact gun.
