So am I going upon polishing them right? Getting down to untouched metal, sanding up to 2000 grit, then polishing kit?

i think shotpeened centers, polished lips, and colormatched bolts.
or, purple faces, with the flat spoke parts polished, as well as the lips, then gold/purple bolts
The lips are already polished and im already set on polishing the centers. I can't decide on color matching the bolts/hex part of the center cap or painting them purple. The ideas keep popping around in my head between the two.

How are you going about painting or refinishing the bolts? Im getting ready to start refinishing my wheels but I am having the hardest time with the bolts. I have had a few shops quote me on prices for the wheels, but no one will touch the bolts. I would really like to have them anodized but apparently only aluminum can be done, and of course my bolts are steel.

Update. After bouncing some other ideas around in my head while trying to sleep, and countless photoshoping, I ruled the polished idea out. To plain and simple for me and I want something that jumps. So im either going to go with color matching my rims (lagunagrun) or this
