Powder coating is much longer lasting than paint.

You could also try some plastidip to see if you like the black look prior to permanently changing them.

YES to above, the plastidip is the ticket for rims.

My black x with tint and black dvinci rims got this remark from the neighbors; "looks like a drug dealers car". Funny thing...it was. I bought it from the local narcotics task force.

just remember. Having them powder coated will melt the fake plastic allen bolt heads when they are cooked in the oven.
I've just had mine done and I replaced them with chrome bolts that I glued into the holes that had been left.
