White MINI wheels: sprayed or powdercoated?

Those of you who have white wheels from the factory: Are they sprayed or powdercoated? As in, if you have the wheels off the car, can you see any silver surfaces? For example; the inside of the center shows where the spray ends, and the back of the bolt holes are still silver?

They are painted on my 03.

Here is a pic of the back/inside of the wheel while it was being clean, it's painted, but no clear coat.


Outside has paint and clear coat.


Hope this helps

Yeah, thanks. I'm just suspicious that my "new" white wheels aren't new, or at least weren't white.
