IMHO, would have looked better if you polished the whole thing. but you did a nice job, thats for sure.

only lips should be polished! makes it stands out in my opinion. I love the way it looks. If i get a set of vert rims, i would do the center some type of metallic bronze.

i didn't paint the back off the spokes
