We powdercoat them for about $40/wheel.

Not to be a dick... but this has been covered many times...

search for "powder coating" in "archieved content" and you should get 39 results...

read those and if you still don't have an answer bump this up...

Funny... I seemed to miss the question besides how much... which like I said is not only searchable but store dependent... Average is about 40 like mentioned...

If you're asking for people opinions... I like them in the stock silver... I wouldn't go white DEFINATELY not gold... but it's your car so do which ever you like the most...

If you find a place that powdercoats, a lot of them have examples of the colors so you can see how they come out... my opinion is that they usually look too pastel... unless it's black/gunmetal etc...

and here are some links to konigs in different colors... no white or gold though...

polished... http://www.megaperformance.com....html
Dark... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=531743
gunmetal polished lip (traffiks but..)... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=437013
