Can you powder coat Chrome wheels?
Can you powder coat Chrome wheels?
So the pattern on my wheels is fine, but I'm considering powder coating the chrome matte black. But, someone said I may have an issue with tires spinning on the rim. Is this true? Any other suggestions

Not sure why that would be an issue - the wheels would be sandblasted/prepped before powder coating. And, the chrome plating is most likely on the face /inner barrel of the wheel, not the outer that contacts the tire.
Just realize that blasting chrome off is 1000% harder than blasting paint. So, prepare to pay considerably more for a refinish.
