Default Gun metal OEM wheels?

I'm just wondering if the wheels on my recently purchased MY00 s2000 came from the factory gun metal, or if they where painted by the previous owner. A little research showed me that I have the ricks badges on my car (front and wheels), but I can't seem to find info on wether or not s2000 ever came with factory gun metal wheels...








After realizing that my car had ricks badges, I also have a sneaking suspision that someone on these forums may have been the previous owner of the car. If it looks familiar to anyone feel free to drop me a PM

That setup looks good. I like it better than the stock color wheels.

not sure how I'd go about doing it, but I agree that gun metal RICKS badges on the wheels would look better than the off white color. I might look into getting it done, but these rims will probably be replaced with 17" - 18" WORK wheels (black with polished lip) before that has a chance to happen
