Me and my buddy did them our selfs...it wasnt as bad as i thought it was.
They were polished at first...we went to the quarter car wash and powerwashed the **** out of them then we masked off the lip with painters tape and sanded the spokes so the paint would easily stick. Then we but a base coat on then 2 coats of just black then 3 coats of high gloss black

usually im not a huge fan of black rims... but these look pretty nice. Maybe you could paint the callipers red to kinda break things up in there. Plus it would match your SS badges. just an idea... other than that i wouldn't spend the money... but i'm poor-for this hobby anyways.

I think those look great on your car! I would buy the missing lug nut covers and keep them. They are a little less common. Chrome vette wheels are soon to be on TOO MANY cars! Just MHO.
