I use Photoshop 6 which is old and basic but that is the version I learned on. I took a course a decade ago in Denver for my job. I'm sure I don't have the course materials around anymore tho.
I'm digging the white wheels with the red ring more than the other options here. I'd like to see it with the bigger meats but I am too busy here at the office.

Powder coating does not involve high heat. A lot of do it yourselfers use their kitchen oven to do small parts (including wheels)...unless you have one hellofan oven I don't see it melting aluminum.

most powder coating is cured between 4-500 F, aluminium melts somewhere in the neighborhood (depending upon alloys) of 1200 f.

Nah, don't make it harder than it has to be. The Center Caps themselves would NOT be powdercoated. For modifying the colored center portion of the Center Caps; i.e.-- Red background with White/Chrome "VX" logo, a precision-cut "vinyl decal" would be best!!!
Just visit your local signage company like "SIGNS NOW" (see your local Yellow Pages), and they can make a perfect size stick-on vinyl decal complete with colored background & VX logo emblazened on top. Simple; no muss, no fuss.
Then get "Gorilla" brand anodized Red lug nuts for the finished touch!!!

x2!!! The White wheels with Red Ring looks amazing!!! It definately compliments the Ironman color scheme. With Red background Center Caps, it would be total bad@ss.
I guess there could be two(2) versions using the White & Red color scheme:
A. As Zeus pictured, White with Red "RING". Outer edge in Red.
B. White with Red "OUTER DISH". Complete "rim dish" of wheel in Red with White interior spokes.
Thanx for your talent, Zeus!!!
