Heat should not be a concern, and if you use a quality paint and prep accordingly you can get a gloss look of powdercoating. heres a close up, and thats dirt not a chip. As far as strength goes, right now I'm trying to polish the lip and I've given up on that one after nothing besides bead blasting will get the paint off- so make sure thats the color you want but hey they are stockers- screw it. And the pic is after about 6 months of abuse KEY PHRASE- who cares they are stock wheels, do whatever its not like you are ruining something you paid extra for.
