A maroon/candy apple red might not be bad.

I was wondering if you have any concern about powdercoating your wheels. I thought I have read it's not a good idea because the heat changes the metal and weakens it.

+1 for orange. Looks great on white. A dark green would be cool too. I'm starting to really like the weird color rims. I'd go for orange though.

After some further research, it seems powdercoating a forged alluminum alloy wheel is not good for strength. Probably fine on the road, but if you're road racing with the wheel it might not be such a good idea.

A dark bronze or candy apple red like some one else mentioned. Orange sounds interesting, never be afraid to be out of step from the rest of the flock

I can think of at least 3 evos out of the top of my head that I've seen with orange wheels, so maybe consider something else if you're looking to be particularly original.
