yeah i have seen them done to look like 100% 35th le wheel b4. I have also seen one that had high polished ends that looked good and i have seen someone to it to chrome wheels and it looked good.

I used aircraft stripper in a can the spray stuff... I had to do it a few times and use a soft scraped and brush... It takes time but its worth it.

i did that, but i wasnt gonna polish the spokes (35th ann arent polish, but machined) so they spokes look dirty and spots like the ones you posted, so i sold them.

now i want them back so i can do them again. and this time polish them

Just wanted to know what are you going to do about the center cap. Are you going to paint it black.

They'd look a lil' something like this with the poslished faces. Notice that the inset parts are just stripped of paint not completely polished. I did all the polishing by hand, but they weren't completely perfect. I ended up selling them for $300 shipped

. It took a lot of work to sand down the ridges under the paint. You have to in order to get the face completely smooth.

Ya when I said polish them I meant just clean the spokes with polish cleaner which is working very well... As far as the center caps I ordered them from my local dealer. Even thought they were $32 each but hell I didnt pay much for the rims themselves!!
