When ive had wheels re-trimmed, you generally find the inner bit is a thin ring of steel, a lot of foam, then the outer layer. Youd likely need to remove the leather, and at least some of the foam so that you can build enough layers that there isnt enough flex from the underlying foam when the wheel is gripped to cause potential areas for the carbon to crack.
Id think that using a wet lay technique then roll wrapped in shrink tape would be a good way to get an evenish circular finish. The slight ribbing of the tape can be sanded down and then clearcoated to give a deep shine.
You could probably use the technique used for carbon skinning too although there would likely be a lot more sanding to do.
