Factory Is300 17" Wheels... Is The Polished Part Clearcoated Or N

[Jason82]

I have a set of the 17" IS300 wheels... the kind here:

All of the wheels have some slight scratches and/or curb rash. It appears that the smooth grooved portion of the wheel is silver (painted) and the shiny part is polished.

The curb rash is on the polished part, so I was wondering if it is clearcoated or not? It's very smooth and I can't tell by looking at it.

Thanks!

Its clearcoated.
