Default paint or powder coat?

I'm putting some new rims on my daily driver Tahoe. Currently, they are simply uncoated machined aluminum. I'm wanting to not only protect them but also change their color/look a little. This has me wondering if I should go with a powder coat or paint or both.

Due to the look I'm going for I may have to use a paint and was thinking I could put a clear powder coat on top. Is that even possible? I've only ever had factory wheels and I'm not even sure what finish is put on them. I'm just looking for a durable, easy to manage finish. Suggestions?

Thanks
