The nice thing about powdercoating is you can pick from hundreds of colors.
I'm still playing around in photoshop trying to decide on the color for my 16" JDM's.
Dark grey
Maybe bronze
Could look great, but if bronze is wrong they will look like crap
Bottom line, in powdercoating your choices are unlimited, Do keep in mind though, the center caps are always a challenge. They cannot be powder coated because they can't handle 400 degrees of baking. If you paint them then the paint needs to contract the powdercoating because matching paint to powdercoat can be a big hassle.
I would not powder coat forged wheels unless you are sure of the temps and duration that your powder coater will use. A good paint job should be reasonably tough and will not weaken the aluminum.
