Powder coat. No question. Painted wheels are straight garbage.

Ummmm.....no. Jever have to strip factory paint and clear off a wheel to refurb? I've stripped factory paint and powder, and they're both brutal to remove.
I vote for powdercoat. Still, properly prepped and painted wheels are just fine, and far more durable than people think. ..and powder, like paint, is only as good as the prep. I'd take properly painted wheels over a quickly done powder job any day. I painted my Trailblazer wheels with the duplicolor wheel paint system. Removed the wheels, clean, sand, prep, prime, paint and satin clear. Lasted for many years with zero blemishes. This was on my DD. Regular washing and wheel cleaner use. -and I'm no pro, but I'm not lazy. either I mean, ya paint your CAR, right? When done right, either will last a LONG time. When done wrong, both will fail. Still, if given the choice....I'd vote for powder.
