Ghey. Ive seen it and I would never do it. Not only does it ruin the rims, it makes them look smaller.

No, because they weren't polished stock. They were machined with a coating of clear on top. If you polish, the clear won't stick, and you'll have to regularly re-polish them to avoid/remove corrosion.
