where there 2 different "phone dial" type of rims?

My phone-dial rims look weird, they arent polished up like some of the one's ive seen online do. I sprayed some gasket cleaner on em and it took off some kind of paint on the outer part of the rim, i like how its shiny under that, like polished steel kinda. The middle part wont shine up though, as ive seen the online one's look. Were there 2 types? one painted and one polished and unpainted?
any help would be great,
thanks.,
luke

there were two different ones. the early ones are laft as cast and have a matte finish. the later ones are machined smooth, and have a clear coat. the gxl and turbo wheels do the same thing
