just to confuse you even more ( 
), PVD coating (physical vapor deposition) is more durable (and lighter) than both painting and powder coating. but its not easy to get wheels PVD'ed since its a fairly new process. if you wanted chrome (or black chrome) then PVD is really the only way to go.
ive never seen blacked out 172's but that might look VERY nice.

hmmmm, very interesting much research this new technology. Is it similar to anodizing?

if you decide to paint the wheels yourself, you can always just paint them back to silver when returning/selling the vehicle
