polished rs rims

well i got bored at work the other day and took my original rs rims and threw them in the glass beader.i sanded one down with variouos grit sand paper till i got them smooth.then i grabed a polishing wheel and threw it in the drill grabed some alum polishing compund and polishe dthe **** out of it.looks like a nicely chromed wheel.the only thing i didnt think of was the center caps(plastic).now heres my dilema do i paint the center caps black, or paint the middle/spokes of the rim black and leave the caps off,and paint the front hubs/rear axle black were they stick threw the rims,leaving the lil triangle sections polished along with the lip???????

I say paint the spokes and the caps semi-gloss black. That should look pretty cool.
