This is exactly what I did on my steelie wheels to attatch pizza pans. I made a little spacer on the rim side so the pans had something to torque down against. I had to cut the pizza pans on the edge to fit around my wheel wts and this has kept them from moving once torqued down. I also used purple locktite to keep the bolts from loosening up over time.
I had this set up on my ride for about 5k miles before having to take them off to get tires rotated and I havn't put them back on yet. This time I'm going to find some stainless hardwear so the bolt sticking out doesn't rust as bad.
I really thought that they would end up in the ditch at some point from the center bolt loosening up over time, but this became a non issue for me. I think the same process would work great with lexan, and look better to boot! Probably will have to take them off from time to time to clean all the break dust off the back side however.
Good luck man.
