YES. Love the way these look. I eyed them for a bit, myself. I forget why I decided against them... I think the range of offsets that were available at the time weren't enough unless you stepped up to 20" wheels.
And yeah, the clear coat on the GXP wheels isn't all that tough. Mine look pretty bad just from washing, and with Adams products! One of these days I'll pull 'em off and give 'em a proper wash, clay, polish, and wax.
EDIT: Yeah, at 19x9.5, it looks like the available offset is 41, which is a little low. At 20x9.5, it's 48, which is safe.

I love satin bronze, especially on Stryker Blue and similar colors - but it kind of depends on the wheel.
The mesh style of these TSWs are perfect for the color IMO.
Subaru had the right idea years ago, although it's less of a "satin" bronze:
