Second possibility is that behind the cover are glued some brackets. After that you can attach that plate inside the wheel with regular zipties. That the difficult part, but possible.

That is some factory prototype so I believe those are only ment tho hide the new design of the wheels :/. Not for serie production or model.

But if you leave little gap between rim and hubcap, brakes can have enough cooling air.
