My best advise: just in case, take an extra set of un-modified wheels with you, and practise on changing them out real fast!

Really good looking wheels but the first thing that came to my mind after reading your method of fabrication is "flying marbles".
Under extreme conditions when the the rubber heats up and the wheels are spinning very fast. I would be afraid that the marbles will come out and go flying.

Something to consider-
