Default Stock SG/RG Wheels

Are factory stock SG/RG wheels clear coated from the factory?

Either a stupid question or nobody knows the answer.

I don't believe they were for the 07 wheels on a street glide. I'm pretty sure they still aren't.

The black paint is either clear coated or a single stage gloss. The raw aluminum is not.

Can't say for sure on those wheels but typically contrast wheels of any sort are painted or coated (the entire wheel) before any machining is done, then when the machining is complete the wheel is ready to go so most likely the aluminum parts are uncoated.
