Can I turn a wheel rim on a Sherline lathe?

Hi all,
I am interested in buying a small lathe for the hobby and I have thought to get either a Sherline or a Taig. My only concern is if they are ok for turning motorcycle wheel rims in scale 1/12 (aprox 60 mm in diameter) in aluminum.

Did someone ever tried to make such a large piece?
