Default Powder coat or not to powdercoat?

Well.. I've been debating whether to powdercoat the 19" rays for quite sometime. It would be awesome to match the color of the car, but after doing some research, I'm starting to doubt the powder coating processes. Drivers claimed the finished wheel being weaker than what they originally had due to the baking process - where the heat cycle changes the grain structure on the metal. Any inputs other than getting myself new rims? lol
