My first choice is to paint the wheels so that they match the car. Not sure if you can match the color (01 GPW) of powder coat to the car. Which is more durable?
What's your thought?

If you prep the rims correctly, the pain will stick through thick and thin, unless you pour some sort of paint remover on it. Powdercoat will look a lot more cleaner, as it is the entire wheel that is being refinished, and it'll be easier, as you just unmount them, and send them off.................well sometimes it is, unless it's your only car

powder coating is more durable, but it is also heavier than painting

plus less prone of getting chipped or damaged as easy as paint
