The photo of the backside of the wheel shows what appears to be argent overspray.

Clean it up and get a better pic.

I don't see any Argent, even in sunlight. The inside rim edge is also Blue, hard to do with the tire on the wheel, but not impossible.

Charley I would certainly do that if that's the way it came!
The other 4 wheels on the car were painted black at some point, I rubbed through the layers and started black, then primer or silver, then blue, then bare metal. I would think black primer would be under the blue, maybe I rubbed right through it.

Coming back to the order. The rallys were painted (dipped IIRC) black and then sprayed silver.
If the wheels were painted body color, then they should have black under the blue.
