They may have been powdercoated rather than painted. I cant see how you can have it professionally done for $60 though. Maybe each rim.

Get them powder coated, it is more durable and will last longer. If you look around you can get wheels powdercoated for about $50-80 per wheel. My wheels went from the crappy quality roush chrome to this...

powder coating uses very fine dry particles of resin with the pigment color of your choice. The resin powder is applied with a spray gun. This spray gun and it's resin contents are electrostatically charged. When the resin powder is sprayed onto a part it sticks to the metal because it's grounded, attracting charged resin powder like a magnet.

It gets baked after its sprayed for a very hard finish
