Now there is a massive difference between powder coating wheels and spray paint. IMO spray paint gives you a better finish, and won't crack if you use the car on track. Also if you have damaged rims, spraying them is better, because they can fill and sand them. So IMO spraying your wheels is a far better option.

Had mine powder coated cos I burn't all the laquer off my painted wheels. Good finish but too early to tell how they will hold up.
