The rims would probably come out looking crappy assuming the paint will hold up to the 450 degree powdercoat cure temperature. You can powdercoat over powdercoat but I don't think powdercoating over paint will work.

When i had mine powdercoated, they stripped the original powdercoat, so that they were coating clean aluminum.

I think they charged me something like $20 extra per wheel to have them chemically stripped. They said that if it wasn't clean
metal, they wouldn't warranty it against chipping.
