Default Polish these or not poll?

I just spent 2 days painting the one on the right. Should I keep it as is or should I get rid of the silver paint and polish it?

Polishing it(them) will take a lot more time..... I say keep them as is and maybe upgrade to some new shoes if you want polished or chrome.

I can polish them in no time at all. Actually I think I can do that faster than I can taping it off. If I polish I dont have to tape anything, then polish after the paint.

Polished will look great . . . But are you ready to maintain polished wheels?

I love the look of the 35th anniversary 10 spoke wheels on red camaros, that's why I'm thinking of doing the same thing with my 10 spokes. Can you kind of give me a few pointers on how to paint them, like what you did, and what you used? Looks great!
