GSL-SE wheel restoration

My stock se wheels have blistering clearcoat and oxidation but are in perfect shape, no scratches or curb rash. I just stripped the paint with a chemical stripper. Since mine are in bad shape and I can't really tell from pics, are the cast inside notches painted with grey and then the face and lip of the wheel just cleared aluminum, or is it all just cleared aluminum? If they are painted does anyone know the color or one close?

Paint the inside black, they are just cleared over the grey aluminum from factory. Then use aluminum polish on the rest and ditch the clear. Or paint them any color you want.
