I will do a quick test to at least 180 km/h and see what the results are. If someone wants to go even faster that ok with me but on spec sheet it is told you to what speeds hubcaps will last...

The velcro would not be seen because it would be sandwiched between the moonie disk and the wheel lip. The wheel lip will be what holds the moonie in place, in a snug fit, keeping the moonie centered. The velcro just keeps the moonie from coming out off the wheel. A very light weight moonie would not be much load, unlike one made of heavy metal.
