Default Powdercoating Vs. Painting

Ok, I have black metallic rims, and wanted to know the advantages and disadvantages of powdercoating vs. painting. The guy who is repainting my car, can strip and repaint them, but does not do powdercoating.

Which should I do, the painting would save me a small fortune so that is what I want to do but want to make sure it is a good idea.
Thanks,
Matt

Powder coating doesn't cost at arm and a leg...it's less than chrome plating...
