Default Powdercoating TT2's

Hey everybody, well since i wrecked two of my wheels in about august I have since placed the order for my tt2's, they should be here in a week or so. What I am wondering is, should I get them powdercoated? or leave them polished alum? I had a silver wheel on the car prior to this, i was considering the anthracite ttm but I didnt like the style as much and it was too dark. Should I just leave them polished? or go with a silver color again, here is the car with the previous wheels:

I thought anodizing was expensive and he asked if he should powdercoat. I'm sure it would look very good if done correctly.

Actually, I think the 30th wheels were painted with a tinted clear coat.
