messing around w/ zip ties, velcro, or double sided tape is really amateurish IMO and looks really cheesy.
That's a fair question. The Moon-Eye racing disks require drilling, so some people are not willing to drill into their alloy wheels. If you're a trucker that needs to add air to your tires, that's 3 more screws to lose per tire. Also, pizza pans are cheaper than racing disks. If you lose one then you won't lose as much money. Also, the snap-in racing disks aren't cheap and don't work over the long haul (the teeth lose their grip over time and they pop out).
