2011 Limited Edition Sedan (or vert) wheels.....painted or polished?

Any idea if the anniversary wheels for 2011 models are painted or polished?

They dont look like the normal whitish/gray color, so Im not sure if they are just a different paint color (hyper silver? or something like that) or if they are actually polished and then clearcoated.

The wheels in question are the first accessory on this page:

2011 Infiniti G25, G37 Sedan | Accessories | Infiniti USA

Im not sure I can link to ebay, but if you search for "g37 anniversary edition wheels" you'll get 2 hits with larger pics of the wheels Im talking about.

Thanks in advance.

But what is the finish? Painted?

I pulled one off the car and I think they are painted

Something I wasn't expecting is that they are made by rays....wonder if they are forged? That'd be interesting

Same here, but the LE sedan only comes with 18s. The LE vert comes with the 19" version.

I didnt think any version of the coupe came with them, Infiniti touts them as exclusive to the limited edition models, or you can purchase them as a genuine accessory.

Im not particularly in love with the wheels, but I at least have to take care of them for now.....started coating them in Gtechniq Wheel Armor last night.

Really?

Did not know that. I just figured they were a dealer installed option, but I guess it makes sense for the factory to put them on instead.

I personally am not in love with them, but at least it makes the car kinda unique.
