FWIW, if you are going to go through the trouble of doing it right, I would powdercoat. By the time you remove the wheels, peel off the tires, strip, refinish, remount, rebalance, and reinstall the wheels the paint is a smaller part of the expensnse. There is an actual "mercedes silver" powdercoating at Caswell Plating. I know of at least two shops that will use powder that you provide. I had a set powdercoated, and a winter of baked-on caked-on brake dust inside the wheels washed off with car wash soap, and they look like new.
