I poweder coated my show wheels from sliver to a black chrome and had the lip polished with no problems that I can see and i have about 5,000 miles on them at least. The black chrome powder coat process is a tw ostage deal and doing white should be no problem at all. The powder coat is a lot more durable than basic paint from what I was able to find out with the research I did. Hope this helps a bit. I will post some before and after pictures for you.

I had my wheels powder coated and clear coated about a year ago. The wheels went from silver to white and I redesigned the center caps. I only use my white OZ Crono's from April through October and in that period of time (one season's use) the finish has held up pretty, one or two small chips on one wheel, that's all.
When you say your wheels were originally silver, is that a natural silver from the wheels material or is that a powder coated or painted silver, because if the silver on your original wheels is a coating you will need to have that finish bead blasted clean before powder coating. Also before you mount your newly coated wheels make sure to put a layer of wax on them, that will help make it easier to clean them when you wash the car. Another important detail for keeping the whites clean will be to put on a set of low dust brake pads
