The machined metal is unprotected and probably tarnishing.

Some wheels have a "machined lip" which means they are literally cast construction with the lips machined smooth to shape. I've never really hard of centers being "machined' because pretty much every center or 1 piece wheel is painted and has some sort of a finish on it.

looks like the face is all machined smooth, but there would usually be some sort of protective finish on there. Does it look like it's tarnishing?
