Need Input: Powder Coating wheels

I'm here in PA and found a local powder coating shop that can do my wheels for about 400 (including clear coat).

I have an IP coupe and want to hear some suggestions as to the color choice.

I was thinking the deeper bronze look or the Volk Formula Silver but any other suggestions would help (pics too).

Agree with the Floridians here

Bronze/Gold on White looks very nice

20mm spacers would be perfect!

I thought about gold but decided against as it draws too much attention.
No one else has gold wheels in the area where I live, except for a lone blue Suby/WRX STi.
Sam: have you had problems with chips and/or finish problems with the powder coat? Did you get yours clearcoated?
I'm thinking about a matte black too...

Be different, do them gold! Bronze would be to STIish.

Everyone does black or gun metal. Matte black would cheapen the look of the car.
