Could you not get these lacquered for road use?

I had pondered buying new copy rims for my car and thought I would try to get them lacquered to preserve them. I had a set previously which rotted - not genuine ones.

Clear powdercoat maybe? They do look awesome.

These aren't as difficult to look after as you would imagine. – the bolts that hold the wheel together are not on the exposed metal you can just give the lips a little rub with metal polish whenever you wash the car. RM & RS series wheels are a nightmare, you have to clean between each bolt by hand!
- Clear powdercoat will chip, let water in and then flake off
- Laquer won't stick to polished metal
