look for a powder coating place out near you. paint will chip, especially during the winter. but I'm sure any body shop could paint them for you.

If your not going to powder coat you might as well rattle can with a good clear coat.
Any one who dissagrees can keep there opinions to themselves but rattle can and some duplicolor clear coat will look just as good as a "paint job" And it holds up damn good

if you rattle them, prep the rims really good.

prep
wax and grease remover
some primer
color/clear
let it dry in a warm climate

it will come out good

^^^this. Prep is everything, you can make a rattle can job look good if you take the time to prep them properly.

That said, I had a shop paint one of my sets of 6UL's champ white with triple clear and it is very durable. Powdercoating 6UL's is bad news.
