Default What finish on my 17" ten spokes?

Two of them have a polished face, way shinier than the machined 35th anniversary LE wheels. The other two I began to sand out the curb rash and I already stripped them of the paint.

To give you an idea of my car:

My camaro is red, black roof
Flat black berger panel
Polished face grille, black in between

I've been wanting a cleaner looking car. I'm getting kind of tired of it looking too aggressive. I might just take off the berger and put on the original panel, I also want to debadge the car. Let me know what you all think. Thanks.

here's mine, I used Duplicolor gunmetal and black wheel paint and a few coats of clear. It took awhile to tape everything off, but I'm pretty happy with the results.
