    to a motors shaft?

    The wheel just have a hole in the middle but there is not mechanism to lock in the shaft to keep it from spinning

    Those are very very small wheels for a featherweight, are you sure there suitable for the load and will give you a reasnible speed?

    THey would generally be used on antweight robots.

      Yeah, those are too small for a featherweight. I would say they might fit a 1kg bot, but heavier then that is no use for them. It even says in the link Marketplace ant wheels

        Since theyre most likely to be used on an antweight Id say the best form of mounting them would just be to make sure that the shaft is a tiny little bit bigger than the wheel hole and just using a mixture of friction and a tight fit to hold the wheel on. There are most likely other solutions as well though.
