dont wrap an a/a core, you want the greater surface area to be in contact with the air, as water has a higher specific heat capacity.
use a conventional a/a core, but run water where the charge air used to go, then enclose the fins and run water through there. might take some thought to work out how to optimise the water flow, but you will get a better result.

Your idea contradicts itself. Yes you want the greatest amount of contact between the air and the cooler surface. In the method you describe however there will be around 60mm of air travel in contact with the cooler, this is the thickness of the cooler. If you encase the cooler in water and flow air through the normal air passages however you will have the air in contact with the cooler for the entire length of the tubes rather than the width.
