Stock painted LSJ wheels, let's see em

I have an idea to take my factory gunmetal powder coated wheels, and sanding them down and doing the spokes in black, and the lips polished. The only thing is that I can only find pics of factory CHROME rims with painted black spokes. I was wondering if anyone else has polished the aluminum itself.

Just mainly trying to see what others have done to their stock LSJ wheels though. My rims are already in the process of being sanded, and I am definitely sticking with my own theme here, so relax I won't cop your look
