They look very nice. I was thinking of doing something like that. Post a pic when you have them mounted on the car.

Todays powders can be cured at a lower temp which will not weaken the cast aluminum wheel. I bet your wheel will see higher temps at the track then it will in the oven. Here is mine fresh out of the oven.
