different wheel paint from factory

i am curuious if anyone has had this on their minis mine is an june of 02 build cooper s with s- lights now eveyone in my group has asked me what i pute on my wheels to make them shine like a pearlecent super bright silver and ofcorse ive done nothing to them and upon looking at every ones s- light wheels ive noticed that all the other wheels are much darker and not as bright of a reflective silver, how strange ! did the factory replace the wheel color or what, is this a known change i was just wondering if this was a normal thing or just a goof up!!
thanks
chris
