[QUOTE=Shaun @ Tru6;11930330 I imagine BBS has an expanding drum lathe for wheel halves to create the finish or more likely, it's a manufacturing artifact of the barrel making process.[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure there's also a proprietary chemical finish used to get that iridescence. Maybe not anodizing, maybe just a h/d industrial coating, but in my opinion there is more to that final look than the final scratch finish. Just my opinion.
