Yes they were polished and done in PVD chrome (no weight increase) by California Chrome Wheel for $175/wheel.

Black wheels detract from this wheel IMO. You've got a great split spoke design, then you guys go and hide it by making the wheels black.

I'd like to see them polished+clear coated.

These wheels would polish up really well after stripping the paint off they are not as rough as some I have seen
above wheels not powder coated clear yet as I have not decided on satin or super mirror clear yet

I did it cause i think black on black looks good, plus after you wash the car and drive it home...you have brake dust EVERYWHERE!. Atleast with powdercoated rims its not so obvious. I agree though...the rims are nice stock

I'd like to see some more powderoated wheels. I'm thinking of doing a gloss dark silver or gunmetal color. I'd like to see some not completely blacked out wheels. Anyone able to help?

that included stripping blasting rinse and powder wow. im at around 50 a wheel without clear and all wheels should be cleared but then agian my oven is only big enough for one wheel at a time and it takes me about 15 min a wheel to blast along with 20 to 40 bucks worth of powder for a set of wheels. 30 each is insane still. Great find.
