I am by no means an expert, but I also thought how cool it would be to powder coat my stock wheels a few months ago and started doing some research on it. I found horror stories of people who went through the powder coat process, then took their car to the track or SCCA event and while on the track have spokes shear off and their wheels crack.
Apparently the high temperatures required to bake in the powder coat will cause the metal in the wheel to become brittle and loose its structural integrity.
I actually do autocross my car, and the few anecdotal stories I found online were enough to scare me away from looking into it any further. Painted wheels are a safer option.
