If they're being molded, couldn't they be made with some sort of texture under the lip to better grip the tread? Just a thought, may be unnecessary.
We've run some of our wheels without riveting the ends before.

As long as you cut the tread to the correct length and width (ie: no bunching/peaking/whatever you want to call it at the ends), it should retain itself just fine.
