Powder coating won't add any noticeable weight. The reason for it is it's more durable then just painting. Less likely to flake off when a stone hits it.

Not one issue with my rims, the wheels are still spotless and no dings (can't say the same for the mirrors or front bumper though) from the trip. |

Powder Coated my wheels
Just wanted to share my gloss black powder coated wheels for thought. I love how the gloss flows with the rest of the car.

Powdercoat is more durable but you will need to strip the original finish off of the wheels. The other issue is the heat application relating to powdercoating that many feel might compromise the integritity of the wheel. That is why they just generally use paint. I think these wheels look great in gun metal. I was actually thinking about doing them the finsh that was on the OEM E39 M5 wheels "Shadow Chrome" Just some thoughts

@schwank I love the way the color of the car is reflected on the rims..My cars black, So Im thinking of a more stealth look with either matt black or Dark Titanium.
