Powdercoat vs. Spray Paint?
I'm putting the stock steel wheels back on my truck, getting rid of those funky aftermarket 'mags' the previous owner put on... I've got some great dog dish hubcaps and chrome beauty rings to dress it up.
Question...
Is powder coating worth the expense, or just go with spray paint? I was told there is a spray paint specifically made for wheels, but I also have read that powder coating is virtually indestructible. Your thoughts and experiences are appreciated.

Go with the powdercoating, it lasts longer, looks better.
I had spray painted my rims(they make rim spray paint, I got it at Autozone) on my mustang...it actually looked alright, but they got scratched up fairly easy. Then I just got sick of repainting them I got them powdercoated...to me it was worth it :-)
