Powder coat/painted wheels. Opinions?

[Nottnowcato]

I already posted this in the E8+ forum, but it's probably better suited to this one, so I've just pasted it over.
Mods, apologies if double-posting is against the rules, feel free to remove and give me a stern talking to.

So, I'm rocking a black 116i 3 door (E81? I'm never sure on the E numbers) and after seeing some very snazzy looking motors on here I'm thinking about going ultra-goth, and getting more black on there. (window tints, black grills, smoked rear lights etc) 
Fiscal matters prohibit new alloys, but there's a couple of wheel refurbishment places nearby that will powder coat for around £50 a corner. It's sitting on the basic 5-spoke jobbies (256s, I think?) so I'm pondering getting them sprayed up gloss black - or maybe even go mental and have a bright colour, you're only young once- but I can't decide if they'll look any good. So, what do you reckon people? Gimme your thoughts. Reckon they'll look alright? Has anyone actually done it on a set of 256s? If so, got any pictures? 
Assail me with your opinions, people. Come at me.

Gloss Black with have the unfortunate side effect of making your tyres look permanently dirty/dull.
Much better (imho) to go for Anthracite

Have a look through the threads as I’m sure this has come up before and some pictures were shared

That does look really nice against the black, I have to admit. I've seen a few pictures hunting through the forums, and the anthracite or gunmetal ones do look nice, but they're all much more interesting wheels than mine! I can't picture how mine are going to look.
