I powder coated my rims red about two years ago and they have held up great!!! no issues with tire changes and no fading. The guy who did it for me matched the red perfectly. A little red tape for the wheel weights and away you go.

I had mine power coated. its about 9 months later and still holding up good. Powder coating will give you more options.

I've had a set of motorcycle wheels and a set of cars wheels powder'd. You can't beat the durability.

If you do powder coat make sure you leave old bearings in place & put bolts in threads, so they don't fill with paint.
