My rides Nordic green, i love it because sometimes depending on how the light hits my car it looks like it changes colors, Sometimes it will look gray or black.

back in the day we had a member called mantis. she had a nordic green like you and she put bronze volk te 37's on. they were bad *** looking with that color. just another thought for you, rather than going custom. bc you still need to purchase wheels to begin with.
nothing worse then spending what ever your budget is on wheels then wanting to go and spend 100 plus per wheel just to get them refinished.
i know its 100 plus for a good refinish because my wheels are at a local wheel shop right now

shouldn't cost much to powdercoat them. my brother in laws friend (best man in his wedding) powdercoated mine for $100 for 4, and those were 15x9 steelies with beadlock rings that i used for rock crawling. yeah it was a discount obviously but powdercoating takes no time at all and is cheap to do.

you would have to check out your local shops. ask your local mazda dealer where they get their curbed/rashed wheels fixed. they might be able to point you in the direction for a good deal.
i have tried to stay away from powdercoating because once the paint becomes weak in any spot it spreads. flaking and cracking. and it tends to scratch fairly easily. just my 2 cents on powdercoating.

That does look pretty badass. I think the gold probably will look better than the black with green ring. Much easier to find and get as well. Plain old black would look ok I think as well.

It will be hard to find wheels with stripes on the wheels to match your liking but for me I found the rims I liked then bought custom red striping match fitting my wheels for five bucks. They have all different colors and sizes to fit your wheel and they might be able to match your car color. I installed them myself in less then thirty minutes and had them for several months with no problems.
