To powder coat or to plasti dip? That, is the question

Should I repowdercoat damaged wheels or just stick with what I got a plasti dip for half the price?

Powder coating will compromise the structural integrity of the wheels.

What??? But they were already once powder coated.... there are just large portions where the rim had to be reshaped and the heat ruined those areas

Haha then I'd for sure skip the powder coating a second time for safety reasons.
