Yeah, hard to tell, hmmmm....
Well, I've contacted the wheel folks below and if the price is right, I'll post pics after I get mine refurbed.

Here's the quote from Wheel Enhancement:
If we have a set to do on exchange it would cost $900.00 if your wheels are straight true and refinishable.
I think I'll try doing them myself with Wurth and save $850.

Only forged wheels were annodized. The slotted and club sport wheels yes; but the cast phone dials and later GTS cup 1 and 2 wheels were a painted finish. Anything cast is painted.
If you don't have paint, then someone must have stripped them at some time.
If I am wrong, please someone correct me on this.

AFAIK, anything aluminum, whether forged or cast, can be anodized, which is an electro-chemical process, and takes on the texture of the aluminum. If the metal has been polished, the anodized end-product will be polished; if the casting has been left matte, then the end-product will be matte.
