Powder coating tends to be more durable than painting, but a decent 2-pack paint job should be fine if you have trouble finding someone who can powder coat them for you.

After seeing pictures of stoneys car i've just got to have white wheels.

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/garage.php?action=usergarage&owner=Stoneyginger

My corsa's off the road for a while to get all the jobs finished (rear brakes, cage, new skits, engine bay, front seats, ect..... the list is endless ) so i'll get all 4 wheels done @ the same time, should save abit on cost that way.

i just got my bike frame powder coated for £20 in gloss black but that did include sand blasting as well. powder coating would be best just make sure you get some of the paint to touch parts up.
