Anyone ever get their rims powder-coated?

[geno]

There's a set of rims I really want, but they don't come in a color that will go with my car. I was looking at them today and the guy at the store said I could have them powder coated the color I wanted them. Has anyone ever done this before? I'm mostly looking for price (they wanted $60 a rim), and for durability - does the powder coating last long? I'm not too sure if anyone around here has done this or knows someone who has - but any input would be helpful, thanks!

Powder coating is pretty damn strong. It can chip- but i would say its at least as strong as paint. Have you seen a Lian Li case?- they are powder coated

if they are aluminum, its possible for you to anodize them.
what color is your car btw?

It's red, but all the trim (decals, moulding striping) is a matte-gold. The stock rims are gold, so I'd like to replace them with something of the same color.

well its possible to get a gold plating ($$$ i think), but i do believe the is a gold like anodizing. theres always black chrome too. black/red/gold go thogether rather well, IMO
