Hi TC -
I'm using #8-32 nuts, which just fit inside the lug nuts.
I have over 4,500 miles on my first cover (I attached one to my left front wheel first and drove around with it for a while just to make sure it'd actually stay on). I was initially worried about the robustness as well, but after 4+ months and 4,500+ miles (on freeways as well as back roads with potholes), even the first I attached is still solid. I think it helps that the disc itself is plastic (relatively lightweight) and that the edges of the disc fit just inside the edge of the wheel (so that any vertical impact is absorbed both by by the edge of the wheel as well as the nuts & bolts). The pix in my first post show how the disc fits inside the wheel edge.
