Whether you rivet just the ends or in all the holes on a Performance wheel, the ends of the tread might still pop out - more rivets throughout the tread does not make it more secure (though more rivets at each end would). However, having the tread riveted down all over would allow you to keep driving on the wheel fairly safely whereas losing one set of end rivets on a wheel that was only riveted at the ends creates a crappy flappy wheel.

Which is exactly why epoxy is also recommended for competition use.
