Spikes-Spider Attachment for Aero Wheel Covers?

The folks at Spikes-Spider have some interesting hardware for attaching a
quick-change snow/ice traction device to wheels.

In short, it is a very heavy duty take on the tapped lug nuts approach.

It is probably serious overkill, and the bits are expensive. That said, with
three of these attachments per wheel, I can't see aero wheel covers attached
with the basic Spikes-Spider hardware ever becoming airborne... that is
except in the case of the failure of the cover itself.

Here's the whole deal:

The stud nut connector, the heart of the attachment system.

Includes some threaded studs for use on specific vehicles
in lieu of the above stud nut connector.
