I need to get a new wheel a proper color for my bike which is the best way to go and why?

i would say powdercoat for durability

anodized stuff wears out with the sun over time, even dark colors fade.

powdercoat will be cheaper, look good (depending on what color you choose) and will last forever, plus the options are practically limitless with powdercoating, you can even get flake in the powdercoat.

It's easier to get consistent color with powdercoating. Unless you go with black, it'd be almost impossible to get different parts anodized in the same shade.

PC has a tad more weight - is this for a streetbike or race bike? If racebike, paint is always an option too.
