Powdercoating stock wheels (of mediocre quality) is generally not a good idea. That is why I had mine painted. In short, many stock wheels (save for OEM BBS or Rays made) have too many impurities in the metal and during the process of powdercoating it causes the aluminum alloy to become weaker. Powdercoating is better reserved for higher quality wheels that use say for example, T6-6061 aluminum alloy.
