What color to powdercoat wheels???

So I have a set of extra wheels laying around, and because they weren't taken care of properly, they have some ugly pitting on them and they hit a couple big potholes and are 2 are bent {but I hear this can be fixed by a good wheel shop, is this true?}...I like the wheels, and thought that instead of getting rid of them, I'd have them straightened and powdercoated, but I'm not sure on a color...I've always liked white wheels, but I really like gold/bronze wheels too...
Just wanna hear some suggestions for repair and color...

Oh yeah, I'm in Afghanistan right now and don't have any way to use my photoshop, so if anyone could photoshop, that would be awesome...

Id PC it black but leave the chrome lip, stands out more like that.

The lip is what has the "pitting" on it...I figured it could be covered up with powdercoating...Otherwise I'd probably do a gloss black w/polished lip...
Not really a fan of all black wheels, but everything has it's exception and that's another option...

I'm really not a fan of bronze or gold wheels, but I can make an exception for Merlot colored Maxima's. Black wouldn't look right on Merlot either. Black, in my opinion looks cheap/trashy, like the ricer kids around town with their Hondas with the missing hubcaps and fart-tubes, or the 4X4 guys wanting to spend $$$ on any aftermarket wheel just to say they've put wheels on their truck.
