I can't add much here, but I would think that PC is more durable. I painted the wheels on my F4i and they came out great, but I have scratched them up changing tires. Other than the wounds I inflected they are holding up well.

As a side note, I don't really like black wheels so I decided to paint mine silver (silv/Blk CBR) As a nod to my youth i used Mopar Argent Silver. That was the body, grill and wheel paint they used in the late sixty's on their Hi Po cars. Anyway I painted it over the Honda black. After it cured it turned a gold/Titanium sort of color that is similar to the gold found on some Ducati wheels and frames. Anyway the color was a surprise that I was pleased with. I guess if I had used gray primer they would have turned out silver.
