Dark Chrome Finish Wheels from Factory?

The wheels on this eBay car caught my attention.

Is the finish from the factory or aftermarket?

Anyone know its name? Is it ‘dark chrome’?

If aftermarket, is it a form of ‘platting’ that will fail in time?

Thanks!

That's exactly what I plan to do with my
wheels over the winter. Not sure where or how but will hopefully find a place

Looks fantastic, doesn't it!?

Any idea what it'd cost for four 20" wheels?

Keep us posted!

So I've learned BMW calls the finish "Liquid Black" and I found this:

Don't see 303's, so these must be aftermarket. :|
