Those are the factory track wheels and they are 18's (all 4). I was thinking of doing the black /red lip on some stockers for fun, but I'm still trying to decide which OE wheels I want to use.

They are the stock 18inch track rays. Powder coated i think, not painted, then they used red caliper paint to do the outside. They actually did a pretty good job compared to my Time Attack CE's

What size spacer do you have on the rays?
There is a member here who widened his stock track wheels and painted them.

I've got the 7 spoke alloys that came stock with my 03 Enthusiast, I want to get them powder coated but I don't know if they are painted or already powder coated, the price to strip off powder coating is alot diff than stripping off paint.

^^^Not sure bro, i am fairly certain that it is powder coated matte black, then they used red brake caliper paint to do the outside. They were on the car when i bought them. I have Time Attack CE's now and the color on the track wheels is pretty close.
With all the sudden interest i might put them up for sale, keep an eye on the for sale section.

Dang guys, thanks for all the props but this thread wasn't supposed to be about me....we are trying to get other people to post up their stock rims that have been modified.
I had 20mm spacers on the rear, and 15mm up front before i took them off. I think, maybe i had 10mm up front.
*No front spacers in the pics.
