Default Brake drum screw

First off sorry if this might sound pretty obvious and stupid, but I want to know how everyone else dealt with this problem. So today I got some new rims fitted, but the rear ones didn't fit because the screw that holds the brake drum in place was in the way so it had to be removed. So now the drum is hold by the wheel's bolts. Now it's pretty obvious that the drum is being hold tight enough by the bolts, but I'd like to know your opinion, and if you guys did the same as well.

Thanks Haz. Here are some pics with the new rims:

Due to stupid italian regulations I can only fit 15" and these ones were my only option. They look 3 times better in real life. I liked the standard rims as well but they were in a pretty bad shape so I really had to get some new ones.
