with my biophysics background i would say doubtful but you never know. the main thing here i would think would be the expansion of the wheel and the adhesion of the paint to the wheel during the baking process. the paint could bind to the wheels surface structure making it weaker because the density of paint is less than the density of the metal compound used. that wouldn't really make the wheels structural integrity weaker as a whole though. but like i said, you never know, crazy things happen in science haha.
