Default Centerline Competition Split spoke wheels

I'm tossing around the idea of getting these wheels in 17x9.5 or 18x9.5, but don't like the idea of constantly polishing them. What do you think about getting them powdercoated? Colors?

Are these made for road racing (able to stand up to curbing/etc.), or are they exclusively a drag race wheel??

I called and confirmed that they are DOT approved and road course ready. They aren't just drag wheels. In fact, I ordered the 17x9.5s. Now, time to explain this to my wife...
