Forget it, no way will you be able to get it balanced for one thing.
Also, you would need to make sure the fibreglass was the correct weight and fibres were correctly aligned during layup to cope with the forces acting on the rim during riding. (and I have no idea how you do that)

It's nearly impossible as you would need a proffessional to do it and i would cost an arm and a leg to do it.
