Painting with a clear coat will hold up fine if you prepare the wheel correctly. I did mine about 15 years ago and they still look good. I scraped a curb just this year and a little NAPA touch up paint hides the scrape nicely. However, powder coating these days is perfected. DMCH wheels look terrific - have you priced an exchange? Pretty hard to beat.
