I need to know if the rims that come from the factory are painted or powdercoated since I will be powdercoating mine in the next few days and need to know if they need to be sandblasted.

Yes, definitely sandblast them before power coating.

yep painted and sandblasting is a MUST. Otherwise the surface isn't good enough for the coat to stick and be as durable as it's supposed to be
