Default Tie Downs

I need to put 'Million Dollar Baby' (MDB) into my race trailer to store it for the winter. My '67 911 racecar has Fuchs wheels, and to tie it down I just run a big ratchet tiedown through the holes and across under the car to each floor eye-bolt. However, MDB has chrome steelie wheels, and the holes are too small to pass a tie-down through. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks, and happy holidays.

I have. They don't look very secure, but if they work...? Probably good enough for short-distance, light duty?

btw, there's a lot of threads on here on the subject....it's one of those....everyone has an opinion, doesn't seem any of the opinions are wrong. For me, 3 out of 4 of my cars that get trailered occasionally, couldn't go through the wheel, so wheel nets are key. The 4th, I could, but the wheels are about 5K and don't want to damage them. Even AAA wraps around the wheel vs through the wheel on my cars when i use up my 8 tows a year, lol
