One way to find out i have never done this on wheels myself. but the clear is pretty thick so I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I'm going to mount the tires myself so ill be extra careful

Typically, isn't paint on rims not very durable? Powder coating is more durable, right?
i havent mounted the tires on them yet i should do that later on today
and
true powder coating is better and stonger but a company wanted $125 a wheel, so i just did it all my self for $150 using top of the line paint, and the clear is some of the best stuff out there!
