Judging by the posted photo of the wheel I would say painted.
The tires must be removed to powder coat them because they have to go through the oven.

I assume it needs to cure then, I've usually heard about 30 days before any wax or sealant can be applied. I wasn't a 100% sure about a clear bra though.

I had the same work done to my front bumper. Body shop told me to let the paint cure for 30-45 days before having clear bra installed. Apparently if the paint is not allowed to cure, the clear bra will probably adhere to the paint, and if the bra is ever removed the paint will peel off as well.
