i'm pretty sure they don't have a colour. Just clear coat over the aluminium.

The centres are painted but it is a lighter silver by the look of it

Yeah they dont look like body colour and it looks like its painted silver and not cleared over the alloy.

Craig do you know!?!?!

I don't actually know... its more of a light gun metal grey, with a clear coat over the top, and lightly polished outer lip.

I stripped my spare wheel to repaint it and only clear coat came off

No worries then, I might just get them soda blasted, polish the lip then just spray the clear over!

yeah I was surprised that no paint came off too cos I thought they were painted. I fairly certain that my spare is original cos it still has an RE71 fitted although I have been wrong once before.
