Default thinking of poshing my wheels

I have been thinking of polshing my wheels for a few days and have a couple ideas. i have looked up on how to do this but i wanted to run this by some of you and see what you think of it.

first i thought of just doing the lip by the tires nut i also was thinking that it would look cool if i polish the inside of the struts of the wheel too with the lip polished.

What would look better and sujestions?

I like the look of just the polished lip.... I remember when I polished mine, by the time I got down with the lips of both wheels, I didn't want to polish anything else in my life! lol

When you get them polished, you have to keep them polished, and much easier to keep just the lip polished.

thanks BigRig. I'm still debating if i'm going to try it or not. It kinda sounds like a pain in the a@# but i know it would look good too. So you can see what i'm thinking.

I plan on polishing my 250R rims. But I won't do it until it comes time to change the tires on it.
