Machined a 2"Diameter aluminum plug w/1/4"-20 threaded hole to go inside the backside of the wheel to screw in the 1/4" screw. Used silicon rubber to glue in the plug so it could be removed and stuck back in when replacing tires. Use Lock Tight/Permatex medium strength glue on threads to keep screw from unscrewing. Used a nylon 1/4"-20x 1.5" screw near the edge of the cover screwed thru the cover and on the inside I have a 1/4"-20 nylon nut to lock the screw in place, this keeps the cover from turning when stepping on the brakes and damaging wheel spokes.
On the inside of the cover at the edge I use foam window seal tape 3/16"H x 3/8" W to stick on the inside of cover and go between the wheel cover and edge of the wheel all the way around. When it gets hot I have had problems with the tape adhesive losing grip so have used Supper Glue on the cover to stick the the foam tape on better.
