This is the One
This is the car that I'm thinking about; this was takin' at the TORCA last year.
and why I was wondering, when I posted this I saw car like one above and thought that it had a MCM hood on it, and thought that he was coping mine, although mine didn't have it on at the time
as you can see that I have black wheels too

3 Pedal, those are powder coated 
That's the way that I bought them, but if I was to do it I think that I would have them painted.
I was going to have Panther Wheel do my wheels and they said that they paint their wheels, rather than powder coat because when you powder coat a wheel you lose some of the flexiblity of the wheel, at least this is what I was told by Panther. Same same with a chrome wheel, he said that is why you don't see any chrome wheels on the road courses
FYI
Kevin, you seen Ralph's wheels he had them powder coated some place here in the Denver area, and has the polished lip.

I saw Ralph's. They look sharp, though I don't think I am going to do the machined lip.
I called a couple of paint shops in the denver area, and they all say to get the wheels powder coated, that they won't paint them.
I don't know that I want to ship my wheels to Canada for Pather to work on them, so I am still not sure what I am going to do.
I will have to get it worked out this winter though.

Just go ahead and get them powder coated, I never could tell the diff, and unless you are going to do a lot of twisties then it should be no big deal
