what finish are ROH RT wheels?

I got mine yesterday. They look like maybe unpolished aluminum. They are kind of a silver color, its definately not crome or polished aluminum. I need to know so I can choose the right cleaner/ polish.

do you think that you could polish these somehow? or at least get them shiny?

Yes, they look painted. I am sure they are aluminium since they are so expensive, so the only way i know to polish them is to remove the clearcoat and/or paint, and polish the actual aluminium.
