Rim powdercoating option
Well the colour is all up to you, I personally love the bronze but I am a big WRX fan so it's in me lol. But black looks ill as hell and I am not sure the bronze will look good on the 18s. Black and blue looks good so I vote black!
Stclairwest: Some places might but I they might charge you a tonne for it. It would be easier/more fun to just bondo over the rash and fix it yourself. The refinishing your OEM wheels DIY covers wheel bondo.

To answer a few questions,
You fix your own curb rash...it's actually very easy. I borrowed a Dotco 90 degree angle grinder and some sanding pads (very fine and fine pads). Gently go over the rash until it is smoothed out.
The clear topcoat will not limit your color choices, but the powder coating company you choose may only have a limited selection of powders on hand. If you don't see what you like then ask if they can special order you some. It may cost a little extra, but you will get what you pay for.
You shouldn't have to tell them about the oven temp, it's pretty much an industry standard that the oven temps are between 350 and 400 degrees. It's tough to find an oven that goes over that, it's just not too necessary for many applications.

I haven't seen a DIY, but you just sand it smooth. Like I said, I used a Dotco 90° and some fine/very fine sanding pads. you could do it with some sand paper though. I'd start with some 150 or 200 and work your way towards a finer sheet. It'll take some elbow grease, but you can do it. You'll first sand through the topcoat, the silver coat, then the black primer before you hit the actual aluminum wheel. You can sand it with the tires on, but you need to take the tires off for the powder coat process.
