I guess just to match how the center pieces are colored. The centers don't seem to have any damage aside from lots of brake dust. The refinisher said that what has flaked off the rims is the initial powdercoating, which BBS then covered with a clearcoat of some kind. That clearcoat started to peel when the car was still under CPO (it's a 2001 Aero, bought as CPO in 2004), but Saab back then said it wasn't covered by the CPO warranty.
I had used the various "wheel cleaners" (you know - spray on, remove within 30 seconds or such...) but I think they just ate into the original clearcoat. Later on, I learned about WheelWax, which is more or less heavy duty Carnuba wax, but it keeps the brake dust from getting a foothold, and then periodic cleanup is just to sponge/hose off with dishwashing liquid soap.
