What's the process for getting your rims painted? What type of shops would I search for that do this type of work? Are there any issues with chipping more so on a painted rim?

HRE's P40's, or there are some similar Champions. Also interesting designs by Forged 360 although I believe that there may be some horror stories about them flying around. I am not sure so do a search and make up your mind.
Firstly you have to decide whether you want a rim which is flushed to the outside, or has a lip. This is a matter of personal preference. I am partial to rims that are flush on the side, I believe they look bigger from the side. The ones with lip look fatter from a 3/4 view but look of smaller diameter from the side.
Here is a rear quarter view of my previous car, with matte grey HRE's P40s

Considering having them powder coated. Not sure about paint chipping but suspect that is always a possibility.
