I think you can afford to powdercoat wheels... do it right once and from the begining, don't cheap out your car.

Thanks Tox - Point taken. It's not so much the money as the inconvenience of being without wheels, hauling them to and from a painter. One quote I got was $350 a wheel.
I've heard several people recommend not powdercoating because of the difficulty of fixing chips. Also, the color choices seem more limited for powdercoating.
I'm interested in painting the rims Nissan code K11 which supposedly approximates the GT-R wheels and lower trim.
I'm definitely going to check in to powdercoating, but don't mind a project either. I like to paint, and have been successful with rattle cans in the past. I've never painted rims and am curious as to how well the DIY jobs last.
Great points made by all and your responses are greatly appreciated!
