Need opinions on Powder Coated rims

I have been tossing around the idea of having my Special Edition Rims powder coated. My Vehicle is a 05 silver sedan. I am thinking of a Mirror Black. Or maybe another color off this page. Possibly have the Honda "H" in silver or white....or something.

Let me know what you guys think.

Edit: Hmm...or Pearl White ... Black Chrome ...

Edit II: If I buy new rims, is there any reason to keep the factory rims? Say when trading it in, will having the stock rims add value to the car? Or should I just sell them and make some money towards the new rims?

i would say leave them as is, buy new wheels, but keep those for your winter beaters. Never hurts to have a spare set of wheels lying around, even if you really need to the money. You never know when they will come in handy.
