Hi Joe, the stuff on the spokes nearest the grip is the general gunk that accumulates on all well handled items in cars, we've all seen it, just from hands and oils and dust and stuff - rubs off with a paper towel with little effort and, I believe is a sign of some use / age... There is a dusting of overspray over the front face of the spokes, but it looks purple in real life, maybe over spray from a body shop, which we've also all seen, you can feel it and it would also likely wash off the stainless easily with some thinner or acetone nail polish remover maybe. Not sure if it's paint or primer though.
I left the wheel as-is so the buyer knows what they're getting. If someone had a steady hand, I suppose they could try steel wool, but that is likely too much IMHO. Grip does not appear painted or stained / dyed to my eye.
Thanks,
Anthony
