Default Repainting rims?

Hi, kindve a stupid question but I have a set of C6 Z06 rims on my car right now in polished aluminum. I like the rims a lot, especially from a design standpoint, they compliment the car nicely and look like they dont have too much excess material on them. Plus the 18s just look badass...

Anyways, onto my question. Can I get the rims painted or powder coated or anodized? Which would be the best/most professional looking option? Im thinking maby sometime in the future I want black rims, but if i can keep the ones Ive got right now and just repaint them that would be ideal.

Anyone got before/after pics of this if its done often?

Powder coating is the best option as it is more durable than painting. Check in the wheels forum for pics.

Did mine myself with rattlecans in the garage. Certainly isn't "professional" but I think it turned out pretty nice and has held up to this day (that says 2006 btw)
