You will probably have to stick with black if you use my source... I chose Satin black, which is pretty much the color of tony's wheels. He has some dark grays and black chromes though.
$85-$100 a wheel is much more typical. You have to also consider prep though. The $85 probably doesn't include blasting the wheels, just a scuff and coat. That isn't a HUGE deal on wheels in good condition, but blasting will give a better bond.

Once I get setup powdercoating, I'll likely charge premium members here $100 per wheel with blasting included, just to give you an idea
