personally, i would choose paint and clear coat,

however, its said as powder coating is more durable ... until its chipped, then it will just start to peel off and flake, unlike paint in the same instance

its up to you really, i just found powder coated a bit brittle and more delicate myself, think of the grab rails on busses and loo's, they are forever chipped and flaked away

just my 2 p worth

thanks jeff, can you continue using cleaning products like turtle wax on your painted wheels?
