Attaching Plaction Tread to Delrin Cylinders

So, for one of our off-season projects our team is manufacturing custom traction wheels out of delrin and plaction tread. I had heard that the best/easiest way to do this is imply to attach the tread to the delrin via. wood screws, but I'd like to get some additional input before we actually attempt this as it's not something I've done before.

Could anyone with experience doing something like this offer some advice on how best to do it?
