I just got these wheels and am confused. They were listed as RZ wheels, but turns out they are silver. All RZ wheels are painted in gunmetal gray, correct? So I assumed they were just resprayed, but there's a manufacturer stamp on the side of the wheels. The Spirit R wheels I found online have raised centers, but are also silver. Can anyone offer some insight here?

Those are not Spirit R wheels. Those I would say are RZ wheels though they are a lighter coating of the RZ wheels. I'm not too sure if they came out with a silver RZ wheel. Anyone got some input on that?

But i can say for sure they are not Spirit R's

After talking to a friend, I think they're resprayed RZ wheels. Apparently shops will replicate any markings on the wheels and the paint doesn't quite look OEM quality. Also the inside of the barrel is painted, but it wasn't on the last set I owned.
