should i polish my wheels or get them powdercoated?

so i cant decide if i should either polish my wheels or get them powdercoated. i like the polished look a lot, but i dont know if it will go well with my car. but if i powdercoated them, then im not sure what color to go with. im thinking possibly gold or bronze. heres a pic of my car, tell me what you think.

Re: (civicskater)

they are rotas, just paint them.
$50 - $75 to PC a wheel, you could just buy bronze slips.
