Your IS looks great Rob with both the OEM and your 20's powder coated. How long did they have to keep your wheels for powdercoating? If it takes long, then I'm glad I didn't sell my 17's yet in case I need to use it while they powder coat my other ones.

I think powder coating is supposed to be much more durable then regular painting. I doubt you will have any more chips then OEM painted rims.

Your car looks really sweet bro! Just curious how safe 20/25mm spacers are for daily driving? What brand spacers are those? Did you have any issues running spacers?
