I have used all the usual pushrim coatings over the years. I settled on the black plastic coating for the last 4 sets of rims. They chip pretty easily and aren't very grippy for a quad hand, especially without gloves.
I have heard they came out with a neoprene style grip called a pushblax or a different version called qgrip that sportaid sells. Has anybody tried these? Are they worth the 250.00? The past two sets of rims ,wheels and tires I bought off ebay. I usually can find a like new set of sunrim CR20s with plastic pushrims for 150.00 or a little cheaper. I take them out of the box make sure they fit with my axles, then I clean up my old wheels, put them back in the same box and sell them on ebay for 75.00. So to make a long story short, I get a almost new set of wheels for 75.00 and a little bit of trouble. I have found a few vendors that sell on ebay with their old stock for pretty cheap.
