Talked to the dealer about the wheels. Bad news from my perspective. The wheels were ordered from discount tire and then sent to a company in California for powder coating.

Below is a link to what I think is my wheel before powder coating. They are only $106 per wheel and are 16x8.

In order to get a fifth wheel for the spare, I have to go thru the dealership to ensure that the wheel looks exactly like the others. The dealership claims that the cost of powdercoating is fixed regardless of how many wheels are done. So, for one wheel, powdercoating is expensive. They want $300 for one wheel. I'm going to get two in the hopes of bringing the average cost per wheel down. When I bought the H3, we agreed on $700 for all four wheels.

If you want to try to get the dealership to give you the exact list of ingredients to recreate these wheels, call 512-681-3300 and ask for Toby. He is the aftermarket parts guy.
