Looks good but I think fully polished would look better and match your paint color better.

Thanks to all for your thoughts. Looks like the consensus is to leave them as is, so I will.

For those asking, the wheels are 16x7 Blitz Type 01.

For those interseted, the wheels are for sale at: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=723767

Thanks again.
