I have never heard of this question, as most alloys love some heat. They serve as heat sinks for your brakes, and the hubs and near centers get WAYYYY over 400 degrees on the track!
I'd be more concerned about damaging the powder coat during extreme driving.

I agree, that's why I am adding my track wheels to my stable. When I go to the road course venues I'll take the stock SRT wheels and leave the sweet chrome-ies at home.
You would have to really drive hard to peal the chrome off, but it will discolor if you are at it for a good while. The powder coating is the same.
A 400 degree temp seems to be right around the norm for powder coating.
