whats this obsession for powdercoating EVERYTHING! Its like a kid just discovered his willy and goes humping and spunking over everything in sight.
You can powder coat an rim right, but most coaters will grit blast to prepare the surface where thin alumium can get chipped.
Prepare yo self, with some sandpaper. An then be ready to have to nitromors the hook/insides of the rims if the powders too thick. Its a lot of faff and will look shit.
Instead use the appropriate finishing, and go to a polishers or anodisers for more blingy results.
