Powder coating is gonna be more durable.I'm considering doing the same thing.If the powder coating is to expensive I guess paint will have to do.

If you sandblast the wheel, follow up with a light coat of some good self etching primer, and coat with a good enamel(semi gloss looks good), the finish will be very durable.

PC is one of the most durable coatings available. Far superior to spray on paint. But, you have to remove the tires and stems first. And, it's more expensive. You get what you pay for.
