If your traveling 65 mph down the Interstate and one comes off from a big bump in the road, it's going to have quite a bit of kinetic energy.
If it hit someone's car or hurts someone along side the road changing their flat tire, that might make for a bad day. That disk would be going almost 100 feet per second.
One can easily make sure they stay on with a slight modification.
Welding on fasteners without distorting the thin disk could be tricky. I have welded thin sheet metal before and ended up distorting door panels. It's easy to do.
If you heat up the whole pan in an oven to 500 degrees first, then weld the stand off's you'll have a much better chance not warping the disk. But that seems to be a lot more work than simply adding a flush mounted fastener from the outside.
