I would also say it depends on how it looks, I don't think I've seen a good
looking machined billet wheel...Also I hate to be totally negative about it
but I'd be very sceptical about being a test pilot for a new, lighter than
stock, custom wheel unless they could show me the Finite Element design
analysis and/or the records of a few thousand hours of fatigue
testing....Joe.

It would depend on cost & weight. I'm assuming the point to this exercise
is to reduce the front wheel unsprung weight. Switching from an aluminum
casting to a billet aluminum wheel should allow a pretty good weight loss
with equivalent strength and toughness.
Let me know
