I asked a shop that does powder coating about doing some MGB steel wheels.  
The owner wouldn't do them, as he said the powder has a hard time getting 
into the narrow seams where parts of the steel wheel are welded together.

The result is a wheel that rusts from the seam. The owner suggested an epoxy 
primer and a good coat of paint after chemically cleaning the rust and old 
paint off the wheels.
