New Rim Coloration

So im needing to redo my rims because they are being starting to
peel around the edges. I previously plastidipped them a few
months ago and they looked pretty good for a while (until the
peeling began). So I was trying to decide whether I should paint
and clear coat or spend the massive wad of cash to get them
powder coated.. Any opinions or tips are appreciated. Thamks
all! :) Picture is of the rims newly plastidipped.

the cheapest way is to spray them urself... now if you have the
extra cash, get them powder coated... but in my opinion , i dont
spend alot of money unless i have to....

Depends how long you plan on keeping the wheels whichever color.
Powdercoating is way way worth it IMO. If you powdercoat I can
get you in and maybe possibly get you a slight discount with the
guys im using on my 3's wheels. Wheel Repair Solutions. They
have a "color bible" (thats what I said to the guy when i saw
it) that ytou can choose from and they can come pick your car up
and have it back to you the next day.
From my recent experiences ive learned to never ever go with
whats cheaper on car parts. Even wheels. Get what you want but
just go the extra mile, I promise you'll be more than satisfied
with your results.

Actually just had a conversation with a friend of mine and I
think we are probably going to "Storm Trooper" my car tomorrow I
think. Will post pics of before and after. But will be done with
full plastidip strangely enough. Full white with black rims,
mirrors, and spoiler.
