Default polishing wheel lips?

Just got my deep dish black c5's from oewheels. Nice wheels btw. Only thing I don't like about them is the lips are like a clear coated brushed aluminum. How would I go about making them shiny and polished? Im a newb when it comes to polishing. Id like them to look like mirrors. Thanks in advance.
These are the lips I'm trying to bring to a mirror shine.

might wanna ask chaman , well i think that is his name , he has the silver ws6 with hp evos, and he takes killer pics, but i know he polished the lips on his evos not to long ago, i know your gonna need to wet sand,get a great polish like adams, and some kind of buffing tool,and alot of time,i dont know if i would do it to a oe wheel though,not saying your wheels are cheap ,but they are made cheap,im sure they would be fine but i would try and search and see if you can find a write up or something to follow.

you have to remove clear and polish, if you not looking for a mirror finish then why bother they look good in all pics ive ever seen of them.
