If I had it to do over again, I would powder coat my wheels. Powder coating
is very durable. I would probably powder coat them all silver, then hand
paint the black portion.
Remember, when you have them blasted, they will start to rust immediately.
If possible, have the same shop blast and then coat them. If you have to use
a different shop, get the wheels blasted and then treat them with some kind
of rust inhibitor/converter.
I don't know if you can powder coat over POR 15. You might want to check
with the manufacturer.
