What are you going for mate?
The stiffness of the wire and the added weight will kill the action of some lures.
Usually the others have a solid hook or body that offers some protection but there's not a lot of species in the UK that would require a lure and a wire trace. Generally sea species are not particularly line shy so any fish scared off by a decent size swivel will probably get more of a vibe from your wire trace.
You could always use a crimped loop to a swivel and then a split ring to your lure if you are really determined.
I don't trust snaplinks for heavy fishing either as the can bend out quite easily, that's the more major issue than the swivel size.
