Default Thunderstar rims

Have a 03 heritage softball with thunders rims. I have on the front rim what looks like water spots. What is the best way to remove them? Also are these rims coated or uncoated.
.I don't know much about these rims any help is greatly appreciated. Ty. SEMPER FI

I have a couple Thunderstars. They come in a satin with matte black shadowing and chrome. Seems like the chrome likes to flake off on many of them. I have a chrome one and the other got black powdercoated. Either way I like the style, are realtively light, and clean easy. I don't know about the satin/black ones, probably have to be careful with cleaning those. They came on the last FXRs and I don't see them around often.
