Not sure what you are doing, but I had a set of polished aluminum wheels clear powdercoated and I would NEVER do it again. It looked ok for a couple years but now its starting to peal off in spots.
I would rather put a little elbow grease in and polish them, looks better than the powdercoat and no pealing! Just my 2cents.

You didn't mention if you had a paticular type wheel or special color in mind but if you don't go the powder coat route you may want to take a look at this. http://www.duplicolor.com/products/wheel.html

I took my stock wheels off for some TT's, but I still have them. I may have my stock wheels blasted and powder coated for the future in case I ever go back to stock.
