Ok, like I get the powder coat is tougher. But is wheel painting done by a paint shop tough enough?

Yes. If it is prepped correctly and shot and baked by a paint shop it is just as good as powdercoating. Not many do it this way as it is expensive. My friend did it with a set of his HRE's as he wanted to keep his lip polished. It holds up perfect.

well, FWIW, I bought Steves old SVT wheels, sanded them lightly, and shot them with flat black duplicolor wheel paint about a year ago, and they don't have a single chip in the paint anywhere
