It is powder coat....
The "paint" is applied as a electrically charged powder...so it sticks to the rims which are negatively charged....then the entire part is baked...melting the coating.
While hard to remove, the rims can be refinished....corrosion is setting in...something will need yo be done soon...or they may fail ....road salts, mag chloride, etc all are hell on cast aluminum... Just takes a pinhole scratch or pit from debris...and the corrosion will start to make the coating peel as the alumuim expands...
Refinishing places usually will use a paint, then multiple clearcoats to get a similar look that is almost as durable....
