I would buy some Pro Wheel rims instead. Depending on who does the powdercoating it may or may not weaken the rim.

Powdercoat is baked in an oven from 15-30 minutes at tempratures from 200-400 degrees depending on who does the work, Aluminum alloy starts to change around 400 degrees. Alot of folks have powdercoated rims and had good luck....it just seems to risky to me.
