Default Is It Paint, Is It Anodized Or Is It Powder Coated

First off I apologize if this has been asked, I did a lengthy search, but the search engine on this forum isn't very smart!
My question is this, are the wheels on the M50, Painted, Anodized or Powder Coated and how has the finish held up to regular use and cleaning?

I'm guessing powder coated, but I'm not positive on that and my bike is only a few months old so I can't comment on how good the paint is holding up.

Wheels have been powder coated for years on sport bikes and they have stood up very well, so I would think it would be the same for our bike. So far they have been great on mine as well.

I would venture to say they are just painted with as easy as it is to pull paint off. When they get really dinged up I am going to take them off, paint them pink and slap myself in the face with them!!!!
