On my experiences that kind of solution will hold up to 110 MPH if plastic is strong enough... Drilling is the most secure option to attach if you have enough material on the rims to drill without losing too much strength. You will also have be willing to drill to your rims which will lose value of those rims on most peoples mind.
When your cover is in contact to your tire always monitor if the plastic starts to wear the rubber in cornering. I once had covers little bit over the rim agains the tire and after 4 months there were about 6 mm deep grooves on the tires.
I havent never lost a smooth hubcap when using those uv resistant high quality zipties in Finland. First I drilled two holes and went behind the poles and now I use the Ziptie Plugs. I have used zipties in wheels for 2 years but here we have to change them after half a year when we change winter or summer tires under the car.
