We actually made a few sets for 2010 that didn't see much use. Those were reinforced with aluminum rings as they had a much greater diameter (8" and I think 10") than the ones we used this year and last year (4" and 5", respectively). We tap 10-24 threads directly into the wheels.

But anyway, here's a picture of the moment in question.
