I heard that powdercoating rims isn't a good idea because the metal can be weakened? I'll try and find the thread, but there was a lot of discussion about it.

The rims will be heated up but no adverse effects have been known. The shop locally has powdercoated thousands upon thousands of items and no failures to date. If the job is done with a double clear you can get a nice gloss look to the coat. You can even have them painted in a glow in the dark instead of the powder.
