Default Bought some 10 spokes, shoud I powdercoat or professionally paint them?

Bought some 10 spokes, the paint/clear has been stripped off. They are in solid condition with no curb rash which is nice.

I work at a dealership in the Collision center. I am a painters helper.

Should I paint them, which will be black, and will cost me NOTHING.

or

Should I powdercoat them which will cost more but be more durable.

The only pic I have right now.

Powder. Friend had his ten spokes done in white from here: http://www.hhpowdercoating.com/
And fwiw I had my calipers all done here. Excellent quality.
It's in fenton just a bit of a drive for you and quick turnaround.
