How to tell if wheels were painted or originally black from factory
I'm looking at buying some black OEM rims off CL. I like the Arctic black wheels and want a set. Is there a way to tell if the rims were painted or powder coated? I found a set but they are 2 hours away so I don't want to get there and then find out they were plasti dipped. I asked the seller but he says he doesn't know. I wasn't sure if rims had a part number that could tell me what model of JK they came off of.
Thanks
Thanks

Rims
I was looking for the rims that were painted from the factory. I just didn't want to buy a set that were DIY painted at home and were poorly done. I wanted a way to confirm they were factory painted and not the 17in sport rims like I have now just spray painted black.
