I neither painted nor powder coated the rims on my BMW. Instead, I wrapped them in black. Peeling and cracking was visible after 15k miles.

Cheap and convenient way to change color of your wheels IMO.

My two cents. I think there are reasons almost every rim in the world comes painted and not powder coated.
