We surprisingly had no problems with securing wheels like this on our WCD last year with a little bit of blue loctite. It might of helped that we tried to keep the shafts length tolerances in the negative direction so the screws would take up slop to prevent any ratcheting action. Snap rings are still significantly faster to manufacture.
