I have looked at the wheel clip idea before, I do not think it will work for me.
Why should I add a grease hub when there is none on the car to start with? The bearings are all internal to the drive assembly.

Sounds like grease caps not a problem. One less thing to worry about.
Sounds like pizza pans fit inside the outer lips of wheels, i.e., pizza pans have 16" diameter vs. ~17" lip diameter of wheels. Does the inner radiused ring of the wheel protrude far enough outboard that the pizza pan will be flush against it? If so, and if the Velcro idea works, maybe put the Velcro there, with corresponding Velcro on inner surface of pans. I'm only speculating here about Velcro.
Ideally, the outer edge of the pizza pans would fit just a bit snuggly inside the lip of the wheel rim, such that when you hit a bump, the wheel rim carries the load of the pizza pan, and the Velcro holds it down snug from flying off at highway speed. This idea a red herring if Velcro is a non-starter. Worth a shot? Thoughts?
The balancing weight shown in your wheel picture can be replaced with a stick-on type, leaving the rim uniform all around.
