I am looking to change up look of car for awhile and being my current &swiss brand is rare ,a powder coat is a inexpensive option
Tell me opinion if I should keep the brushed look or go with black face, chrome lips and bolts
Black wheel color would be gloss like the body

Brushed for sure... Never have liked the "black on black" look..... (but respect those that do...).

That's a tough call because both variants would suit your car very well.
The only thing I do not like about jet black (gloss black) on wheels is that they will swirl up and mar up very easily. Black paint shows every imperfection as I am sure you know from having an Onyx Black SC.
I detail mainly high end cars, LOTS of them have gloss black wheels. We do alot of brand new cars as well as many clients' cars whose wheels just got refinished. It's always the same scenario, even brand new gloss black wheels, after the first wash will be filled with swirls and scratches. If that doesn't bother you, I'd go for it, but I could never do it because it would drive me insane.
I am getting my second set of wheels refinished at this time. I wasn't sure what color to do the centers. I decided to keep them black, but a pearl black with a decent amount of metallic is what I went with because it's a MUCH more forgiving color and does an excellent job at masking swirls.

stay brushed. looks really nice with the very good condition chrome trim around the windows. IMO if you blacked out the wheels, you would have to get blacked headlights and plasti dip the chrome trim around the windows, otherwise might look out of place. You have a nice car there!

Plastidip them black......just tape off the lips if you want or do the whole wheel
Its easy to do and you can remove it......see if the color grows on you.....
Plastidip wheels can turn out really good if you do the prep of cleaning wheels.....and the biggest trick if you do tape the lips off.....spray a thick final coat and right after pull the tape off and you will have a nice clean line...
