Default powdercoated vs. painting

hey guys, I'm thinking of having my pony wheels changed to white next summer, to highlight the white interior, stripes and top... would it be better powdercoat them or paint them, and how much would that run?

powder coating will brobably be avour 40 -100$ a wheel depending on if u stip the old finish your self it will be th emost durable but you can sand and paint the rims your self with some 2k single stage all four for about 50$

50 bucks to spraypaint wheels?
i painted my eclipse wheels a while back and it cost me like 24 bucks.
a thing of 800 and 1500 grit sand paper
two cans of regular black paint.
and two cans of wheel clear coat.

imo powder coat would be the way to go tho.
