I don't know if Moon Equipment Co. ever thought their wheel covers would end up with"cold-rodders",but they were intended for screw-attachment to a steel wheel.------------------- Since aluminum is prone to fatigue fracture,I would never consider drilling it.And since the wheels weight is pretty insignificant,considering the overall mass of the car,I'd say that if you're going to run Moonies,do it on steelies and be safe.If you can come up with a non-destructive means to attach them the the alloy wheel,that passes the safety test.Let us know.
