I would be tempted to drill and tap two more holes in the wheel at the same
radius as the OEM hole in a triangular pattern. (Slightly longer nylon spacers
would be needed for these holes/screws.)

Just for the record, given the usual "righty-tighty, lefty-loosey" screw threads,
is there a tendency for screws to unscrew themselves on the wheels on one
side of the car? If so, which side?

Also, thinking of possible electrolysis due dissimilar metals goobering up the
threads on the screws, given the need for a secure, reliable attachment, what
type of screws would be best; mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum,
nylon?

Screw mostly come loose because of the vibration. You see as it vibrates froms the engine rumble, and from the bumps, etc the screws will loosen. Unless you used an airpowered drill with a screwdriver bit then they will gradually loosen over time. Loctite can reduse it a bit.

As for the screws, If your rims are steel avoid anything galvanized. Since your pans are probably just aluminum, use a stainless steel with a tiny ammount of plumbers tape just incase. Alot of people on here have pizza pans and I have yet to hear anybody talk about problems with metal types yet.
