I think they were painted silver (libe the 5-lug Mahle's)

Check this thread, there are a lot of infos about 914 wheels : http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=8a5b931ce7631696d78c96cc0faee471&showtopic=74857

...and why we detail our wheels - forget the fact that they look better in satin black with a polished rim and spokes, it's mainly just to piss off the Porsche purists! :D
