How many rivets on a wheel is "too much"?

Our team was preparing 4in. Andymark Performance Wheels to finish up an off-season project before the new season begins. We purchased and successfully cut blue roughtop tread to fit the wheels.

However, we just realized that these wheels have a whopping 12 holes for rivets in them. In the end, we riveted one wheel with all 12 rivets, and needless to say it was a very difficult and long process.

Is it overkill to rivet these wheels with all 12 rivets? I was thinking we could attach 4 rivets (2 each) at the ends of the tread, and possibly 2-4 rivets in the middle of tread.
