Default Sanity Check - Wheel Finish

I just recently purchased some secondary 20in. OEM Jag wheels (apologies, I don't know the names of the different wheel offerings) off Facebook to replace my 18s with. One wheel had a bit of curb rash on it that I was aware of and figured it to not be a big deal to get cleaned up before popping new tires on and getting the new wheels on the car. I took it to a place I have previously used to powder coat the 18s and roll the wheel in for them to tell me there is nothing they can do because it is black chrome. I was really surprised, I did not think that black chrome was an OEM option and that anything black was just painted black gloss from the factory. I brought the wheel back home and inspected closer and on the interior of the wheel on two spokes I noticed what I assume are color identifiers for the wheels saying "EX5M-1007-BA SPARKLE SILVER" and "EX5M-1007-DA GLOSS BLACK". Just guessing that this wheel could be received either in silver or black finish.

I attached a couple pics of the purchased wheels. Just wondering if I am wrong and there was a black chrome option or this shop has gone downhill since I last used them?

Looks like Tornado, which was offered in silver and gloss black in my 2014 & 2017 brochures.

You can check out the various F-type brochures here...

(Edit: they're not in the 2018 brochure, and they became 'Style 5039' in 2019, and only in gloss black.)

Thank you for that, looks like you are right on them being the Tornado and Gloss Black not Black Chrome.
