My concern here is that repeated rubbing against the fairly sharp wheel window edges will still cause a failure. Duck tape any where they might rub.
My second concern is how they'll hold up to the repeated hot/ cold cycling effects of the brake discs. Constant temperature cycling will cause rubber to harden, loose it's elasticity and perish (particularly if the rubber wasn't intended for temperature cycling). You could consider making your own elastic straps from motorcycle inner tube, that material is at least designed to withstand some decent temperature cycles.
I will probably use the elastic idea on my trailer wheels, there's not much heat cycling (no brakes) and the backs to the wheels are easy to access to tighten/ attach the straps.
