Why not take them somewhere which will shotblast and powder coat them?

Probably, I just remember they're cheap

The wheels in question are Evo 8 MR wheels. They are very weak and it worries me that they will be damaged due to the high temperatures used when baking them. They say its best to just get them painted...
yeah something like that

Ah fair enough, @r0ss172 and @chris blue , check my project thread for diy wheels. I've used both rattle cans and proper spray guns to finish mine. Separately, not together lol

@r0ss172 give this fella a call and have a chat with him. http://www.1stclassalloys.co.uk/
He does everything from high end to poverty spec cars, and his workmanship is 2nd to none. He only does powder coating, but if anyone can do the MR rims, he's your man.

Paint mate.
If you decide to use them, speak to Stu and tell him Ben from the ambulance service recommended you.

Powder coat is only baked at about 200 degrees isn't it? Hardly going to do any damage to the wheels at that temperature.
Imagine how hot they must get if you're on track etc? They're bolted straight to the discs that get to the point of glowing red hot - some of that heat must transfer to the wheel too?
Go touch your wheel after a 'spirited' drive. You'll be surprised just how hot they get!
