Default Polished Kasuga Wheels - Are they clearcoated?

Do the polished Kasuga wheels (2011 XJL Portfolio OEM) have a clear coat/clear powdercoat on them, or are they bare polished aluminum? I would guess they are clearcoated but I don't see any 'texture' to the reflection like paint would look and they look identical to the CCW wheels on my other car that are bare aluminum. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I believe, but don't quote me on this, that they are diamond cut, polished and then clear coated. Without any coating they would corrode very quickly.

Yes they are polished in the pellets jig. Then clear powder coated.
