Refinishing Inner Barrels..Options?

So the plan on my Weds Kranze Cerberus II was to refinish the inner barrels to a high polish but it seems like there are stretch marks from how the inners are formed creating lines that are extremely difficult to sand down...
So I am thinking about doing a brushed finish or painting with automotive paint.
Does anyone have pics of what they have done to the inner barrels. I know chrome, silver and black may be popular but looking for something different.
 
Thanks

It can be polished. I had mine done on my fabulous wheels

ahh...maybe I need to start with a more agressive sandpaper..I started at 220 and 500. Looks like 80-120 grit may be the right start

I have Weds Kranze Cerberus I and I had the barrels polished and clear powder coated.  I wouldn't polish them unless you plan on clearing them somehow...would be a night mare unless you have a trailer queen.

I will post pics later, but it will give you a good idea.

I daily, so yeah I would need to clear them..just wanna polish out for wekfest.

Here's mine.  You can tell the difference in person between the cleared and non-cleared lip.  But, it isn't a huge difference and definitely unique.  At least it give you an idea.  I daily mine, so there is no way they can be just straight polished.  I had a real hard time when I dismounted the rims for the last show I said F it...

Thanks alot man...I like that look. Its about the details for me...When people look at my car I want them to see that I didnt just slap rims and coilovers on.

On the wheels I built for my MR2 I chromed the inners and outers (brushed centers).

My old GS wheels had candy blue powdercoated inners. Was really cool but was hard to sell (I change wheels often).

My current wheels have charcoal powdercoated inners. looks nice, but a bit conservative for my taste.

Thanks man..you and your bro's 1st gen are dope cars...I think I wanna go with a flake of some  sort.

Flake? Lol. I love flakes. I actually ordered the wrong ones for these wheels. I wanted bigger flakes but they sent me medium. :(

I think the medium size is good considering the area is small...larger ones might over power, Im thinkin".

Haha our rims are going to look very similar.  I have a small amount of flake in my clear and I really like it.  In fluorescent light it really pops.
