I would actually recommend powder coating them since they will last longer, but if you are looking to paint them, then just google body shops around your area they should be able to paint/powdercoat your wheels. However, if you wanna save money on painting then I say do it yourself, they come out just as good if you do it right, check my DIY on how to paint your wheels, hope it helps!

I had my powdercoated for about $100 a wheel with lifetime warranty

THX that helps a lot.

but one more question: whats the difference btw power coating and painting? is it just that they are the same but power coating lasts longer?

I painted mine in my garage with some index cards and krylon spray cans from Walmart.

Still holding up fine.

paint is a liquid.

Powdercoat is a polyester powder that is cured in an oven and forms a plastic shell around the part and is much more durable and chip resistant that paint.

You could also try Plasti Dip and remove if you dont like it or get tired of it. It peels off very easily and costs $6 a can
