Question Graphite Polished Wheels

Can anyone clarify this option.......
I ordered my RX330 with the 18" factory Lexus wheels. How is this different from the graphite polished 18" wheels?
If they are different, can someone please post some pictures of the graphite polished wheel.

The Graphite Polish wheels are part of the Performance Package. It's a bit shiny and is gun metal in color instead of silvery.

Sort of bad angle; I have a way better close up but it's too big for this page; I can email if you want.

Thanks for the picture and replies. The graphite polished looks like a machine finish. Are they clear coated?

I've also noticed a graphite wheel on some of the monochrome '03 RX's. I believe it was the Coach Edition. Does anyone know if that was part of the Coach Edition? They are much nicer than the silver painted wheel on the '99-'03 RX's.g
