Default Powder coating my SS rims

I was wondering if it was ok to have my SS rims powdercoated? If not is there a paint that I can use on them that won't chip?

At the cost of powdercoating you could buy some new wheels. Last time I checked it was crazy pricing.

I would say the opposite. Powdercoating is pretty simple to clean. Just take a very soft (quality microfiber) cloth and wipe them down with soap and water. That's pretty much all you have to do. No polishing, scrubbing, or maintenance involved.

I had my TT2s powder coated and they are real easy to clean and the finish holds up really well if they are done right
