Yea, id powder coat em too. That stuff is tough as hell. Id also get stainless valve stems as well.
If i were you, id also consider not coating the entire rim, maybe just the spokes in black. They make a NICE clear powder coat you could finish the wheels off with and add a sweet look to em.

well you can spray paint em like helo did, but if your gonna get them powder coated and spend the extra cash for it, id look into the black chrome,because it looks sick as hell.
