Actually they are nuts and bolts on the real Albatros---10 of them. Quite simple wooden blocks wedge between the spokes at 10 positions ---they are locked in place with wedges so they can not move ---then the aluminium discs are fitted using 5mm. (this is full size don't forget) round head bolts on the outer faces and nuts on the inner faces---through the blocks.
The Proctor 1/4 scale wheels duplicate this appearence perfectly. As I said "tiny little nuts and bolts".
