What Rims for a Nordic Green?

Please let me start off by saying that I have spent countless hours or extensive searching for what rims to buy for my 2004 nordic green, however it has finally worn me out and i need some outside input. For starters, im looking for something in the 18x8.5-18x9.5 size range. Ive always thought bronze or maybe even gold would look good on a nordic green rx8 but am very open to different colors. The main thing however, that has hindered my efforts, is that i can find the most spectacular rim that would be perfect for my car, but then come to find it ways 23 pounds! So i guess im looking for something in the "around 20 and below" weight range. I dont have a huge budget, but any suggestions will help. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions off the top of their head and I want you all to understand I am doing this out of desperation and not laziness. Thank you very much in advance for your input...

P.S. How much would it be to powdercoat or paint a rim? In case i find a rim style I like but just want it in a different color.

gram lights 57f are under 18 lbs in 18x8.5, and I bought them for about $250 each, shipped. Not sure if you can get that deal anymore though.

for color, I think gold/bronze rims look good on N.Green.
