I agree, but the conical shape that comes out of this design makes it a leetle more problematic for using them as a mount point.
Everything is being dictated by my wheel's shape. For the lugnot mount, Instead of a conical shape, I would need a "shallow convex bowl" that starts flat at the center and then curves inwards to the rom of the wheel. Hard to explain.
Coincidently, the pizza pan I have is the perfect shape. It's drawback is that it is maybe 1/2" diameter too big. If I used it, I would risk damaging the tire, and it would be vulnerable to car wash damage too. It's actually a candidate for the "melting oven plastic" option you described. However, my wife's Mom and Dad bought our stove as a moving-in gift, so I am leery of "making a mistake" with that, if you know what I mean. My wife lets me do whatever I want to my car, but the stove is her baby.
