Exactly right. We've been using the clamping design since 2001 and shared it with 254 when we started working together. The one thing we do different is we simply glue the ends down instead of using pop rivets now days (we can change out all the tread on the robot in a few minutes without having to bust out the drill).

We have access to a much larger cnc with an auto tool changer during build season. That machine could turn out all six wheels in under an hour easy. The material that goes into making one only cost a couple of bucks, but don't be surprised if we go with Plaction wheels on future robots.
