Painting it and then removing it there will be some type of damage no matter what anyone says... maybe repairable but something... If you get it powdercoated forget it cause thats even more solid. Why dont you just choose one or buy another set.

Well you can chip the paint off of them but yeah, they won't look perfect but that is how you can get them back to the stock look. You didn't sand them before you painted them? Cause if you did I don't think they will look that great IMO.

When you take off the black paint, there will be a big chance you will take off the gunmetal coating underneath as well.

The BBS wheels don't come forged in that color, it is added afterwards.

Have it chemically stripped/cleaned and powder coat it again.

if you powdercoat it again the rims will not be as strong and might crack

+1 on that, it weakens the wheels

I've heard of this with Magnesium, but with aluminum I think you're fine.
