Two were, two weren't. The two that were painted looked as though it had been scratched off, not that it was unpainted. I didn't take pics of this though.

Checking that PM now...

Yeah, that's weird. I know my wheels were at least never bolted. The holes are perfectly smooth. On my way home now. I'll post some pictures of the back area too.

The bolt holes were perfect on mine too. That's what made it really confusing. Around the barrel and towards the inside looked like a different shade of black too. Inconsistant. Can't see it with tires on.

My wheels are in....

Ta-da! This is a pic of my rear wheel. Looking sharp.

There is rumor of snow for the weekend after this, so it looks like winter will be here in NE Ohio for the next five months. I can always dream about how these will look on my SpaceG coupe.
