Powdercoating can't be safely done on multi-piece wheels that are welded together. If they were one-piece forged wheels it would certainly be the best option.

All they do is refurbish wheels, so they will have exactly what you need. Do you still have your stock wheels? If so, do what we did--bring your PE wheels plus one stock wheel to them, and simply point and say 'make these look like that'.
