tryin' to figure out what to do with my wheels. should i polish then completely or beadblast the centers and add to spinner to the center caps? i'm not sure if the center (6 holes) has a finish or not. i like the looks of the wheels on the '68 that ECE did. what do you all think......thanks. here's a pic

Polish them all you want, but be forewarned....I had a set of wheels I polished on my motorcycle a couple years back and they looked trick, but they were a LOT of work to keep clean and looking good.
