Powdercoat Rims?

Well, my best friend's uncle says he can powdercoat my rims for $25 each.

I think my old stock rims would look really hot black, should I get them coated black?





Or should I have my current aftermarket rims done in black?




Will powdercoat hold up to the abuse of cruising around?

$25 is a real good deal. Ive had mine done for over 2 years and I have one chip, including winter driving. I paid $75 cdn per wheel.
