FAQ:

How strong are these wheels?

From tests, they're pretty strong. They're not designed so thin that they would collapse with driving. However, they will shatter on impact with hard immovable object though. Tests have shown they do run well and are useable when driven carefully. If your model is to sit on a shelf, no issue at all of course. :) 

Surface finish?

Front testing the wheels themselves look great with just a matte spray varnish (TS55)
The valve stems can be brush painted with acrylic paint and glued into the rim with a small drop of CA adhesive.
The centre hub nut piece can gave the 'nut' painted in a metal colour.
The wheels disks can be painted with an acrylic paint.
