Yep, they are just painted with a base coat/clear coat just like the rest of the car.

You can sand them and repaint.

You can have them blasted (some say walnut shells are the best, but never use sand) then paint.

Some of us just take them to our local powder coater and pay about $70 bucks a wheel....
