To powdercoat, they need to sandblast all the silver paint off the wheel. I'm not so sure you'll want to leave bare metal exposed, nor do I think they'll be keen on attempting a polished lip look, since it would most likely be done w/ masking tape and look like crap.

But when it's done correctly, powdercoating looks great.
