ADR M-Sports are powdercoated not polished or clearcoated.
Wheels America came to a Z Club of Texas meeting. I think they quoted $99 to repair a wheel.

Its a silver powder coat. I know because I clipped a curb with one of my ADR M-Sports.
There is a clear coat on top of a silver powder coat on top of a yellow primer that is on top of the aluminum. I removed all the layers from my lip and polished it, so I have first hand knowledge.

You need to mask off anything you don't want sanded and be very careful.
I started with 320 grit and worked my way to 1000.
I then hit it with a buffing wheel and never dull aluminum polish.
Its been raining for two days so the wheels are too dirty to take pictures of.
Unless you know they have been worked on you would not know it. The car show judge at Autorama did not catch it. Unless I tell someone about it they don't see what I did.
I plan to take all four wheels to wheels amarica and have all four wheels worked on. I will have real machined lips and powdercoated centers when I'm done.
