Poweder coating or profesional re-finish (strip, paint and clear coat). The right place can paint then any color you want but you need a really good (durable) finish becasue they will look like crap if they start chipping. Most OEM wheels are a painted finish or machined metal with a clear coat.

My guess on cost $125-$175 wheel. Shops usually charge by size and M5 19's are pretty big compared to you average Honda/VW etc...

Powder coat should be 40-80 per wheel from a reputable shop

Dealers don't re-finish wheels or do powder coating. A little research should get you several shops in a few minutes...
