What color should I powdercoat my wheels?

Slightly off topic: the TPMS sensor can now be drilled from Work when you buy a new set

I tried test fitting the wheels at my friend's house since it was his neighbor selling the wheels. We slapped in a 10mm spacer since he had it laying around and it still didn't fit. We then put a 20mm spacer on and there was a decent amount of space between the caliper and the back of the face. So I figured 12 or 15mm would be best.

I dropped off my wheel faces today. It's going to cost me $250 to do a hyper black.
I asked about black chrome or burning black and the person I went to doesn't offer it and no place local either.

Color is so preferential, just go with what you desire!
As for reassembling... Vsxx torque spec is 19ft-lbs, go in a star pattern with the 44 bolts. Sealant, I'd have to look what I've used in the past. Tpms if they aren't drilled for them, you can use valve stem adapters that you can find online or eBay to mount them without drilling. That's what I'm using.
I recently redid my vsxx myself as well.
Adapters for reference:
