Wheel screw inserts

Have a set of Ford OEM 15x6 white spoked wheels I am having sand blasted and powder coated. They bake them at 400 degres in a oven.

My question is the three screw holes that hold the center caps are these inserts metal or plastic, if plastic will they melt? Any insight by anyone ?

The wheel part # D8TZ1015 C Stamped LJ by vavle stem.

Collectors shows 19, not 9. But, this place I never list, unless the only source, you wanna know why?

1) Most of the obsolete parts they have, they show a quantity of 22. But usually have 1 or 2, sometimes none.

2) They always say they will check and call back, but almost never do.

3) The people that answer the phone are rude, and don't know diddly-do.

And...since the part is obsolete, the FoMoCo Dealers are usually cheaper than the obsolete parts vendors, you wanna know why?

The dealers are STUCK with the parts, because they can no longer be returned to FoMoCo for credit. You can sometimes even "chisel" their price down

The obsolete parts vendors are in the business of selling obsolete parts. No chiseling...usually.
