Joe -- Yes that's exactly the dilemma with the multi-piece rims and why a lot of guys just paint them rather than powder coat them.

Unless the tire shop guys are super careful ... If it were me, I would just paint a multi-piece wheel and touch up as needed. Wheel will look almost as nice.

My 2 cents.
