Pretty sure if you have good wheel shop do it they would know how to paint it so the paint doesn't chip away. It might be better to try and find none chrome saleens and try and paint them, it would probably turn out better. Powder coating will make it more of a flat black, the Powder coat dries different, its like a really fine sand paper. But I think those saleen rims flat black look better shinny black. Those Flat black 20s would look sick on your car, just have to get the windows tinted. It might look nice just staying with the chrome too. If you do get those rims put them on and see if you like the chrome, if not, paint them.

19's are FAR more expensive than 20's lol, especially tires usually as they are not high demand, and high rise cams (the ones that give you that mean *** sound) actually knock your horsepower down a few (according to brenspeed) the lowrise cams can add 30 to the wheels but they dont give you that mean sound...
