If you have the chrome "clad" wheels, the powder coat will melt the clad.

Anyone else what?

They are trying to tell you that it is literally impossible to powder coat chrome clad wheels. The chrome clads are simply a plastic cover that is glued over the steel wheel and powder coating requires an insane amount of heat. You cannot powder coat anything plastic...it will melt.

Are your rims the plastic chrome or the aluminum?

you can break the plastic cladding off, remove the glue and then have the wheels cleaned up and powder coated. IMO it does not look as good though because you have big indent section in the center that you can't get a center cap on. The wheel is made for the cladding to fit into it and the cladding is what gives it the finish and look.
