Looking to re do the wheels on the bike as the factory finish is crap, and is flaking off in places.

Just wandering if it is better to have them repainted red, or just to get them powder coated.

What are the pros and cons of both methods?

Also which gives the better finish?

Been tempted to polish them. Do they take much looking after. Don't want something thats going to be high maintenance.
