Default GSR Blades (Full polish or just the Face) (update: more pics)

Well im going to be getting a set of gsr blades soon and there going to be repolished.

I noticed from factory the oem blade has just the face polished but the inside and the sides of the spokes them self are not really polished to a bright shine like the face is, its more of a silver finish.

My question is would you polish the whole blade up so it basicly looks so to say chrome dipped were every thing is polished or just have the face repolished and leave it like the factory look

*note these are not my actual blades just pictures i found so i can help explain what i mean*
*these are both factory blades with just the face polished*

on this picture below you can see a closeup on how the oem original blade sides of the spokes arnt polished, more so of a silver


btw if anyone has a better picture of what im talking about feel free to post it. Or if some one has a fully polished i would love to see how it looks

Why would you want to repolish them. seems like that wheel looks clean still.

well it sure looks like im going out all bling bling here with a full polish, hehe. I dont think anyone has done this before so it should be different and look very bright from all angles.

btw if anyone has this done please post a picture

i say just the face, because they have a machine polished face that will be hard to duplicate on the inside

i dont think it will be that hard because we have all the tools, and i know alot of people that polish there valve covers to a bright shine so im sure it wont be to hard to do the same to the blades
