I'd say something dark like black or gunmetal.

I was originally going to suggest like a gold or bronze color, but that doesn't seem right with a wheel with no lip. But that's me though...

Is he planning on removing the tire to powdercoat the wheels or is he just gonna do it with the tires on?

Gunmetal. They have to take the tires off, they bake the wheels. $20 a wheel isn't a bad price at all. I'd probably just spray can it, but powder coating will hold up a lot better.
