Yeah if you are going to clear coat something then PC (powder coating) is the way to go man. It will last for a really long time, just make sure you tell the people that change your tires to be careful with them and it will be ok. I am going to be getting my powder coating machine in a couple weeks and am going to be doing lots of stuff with rims and all for my dirt bikes and things like that and maybe a bit of other things for people for a little bit of extra money. Let us know how those rims come out though man.
