This was my first concern, but it looks like if the wire ties are kept short, there's no risk of a disk contacting the vehicle body. I'm going to do this or something similar as a precaution/ anti theft measure, my genuine Moon's seem fine as is though.

Bungee cords seem like a good idea, but not sure how much tension you can get on them (seems like they might be tricky to install. If they do work, you might also have another way of securing pizza pan discs too (3-5 L brackets to locate the disc to the rim, and a pair of bungees to hold the disc to the rim face).
