I think that's the way to go...based on what the article posted by Andy below suspects the issue to be is poor adherence to the surface so powdercoating should do the trick.

Interestingly enough when I bought my GX CPO it had bubbles on the wheels so the dealership said they'll replace them. When they called me to tell me that the new wheels are in I dropped the truck off and a few hours they called me back saying they need to reschedule...apparently the "new" rims in the box that was sitting on some shelf for x # of years started pitting on its own so they had to reorder a new set. No harm to me as I got a nice IS250 as a free loaner.

I think you should sell your wheels to me before they start.
