if you are using an abs polymer tire, then just use some CA glue to tack the wheel on the backside

I ordered THESE ONES from r2hobbies. They say D-Compound. I don't know if that's ABS or not. I guess when I get them I'll see if they fall off or not and go from there

no you don't need to glue those. you heat them up and press them on the rim
