finally got my wheels and forks done. I had polished the front rim to a mirror chrome finish, the decided it didn't match the "brushed" or "satin" finish on the forks, so I sanded it down with 400 grit sandpaper. so that is what I did with the rear as well. no heavy polishing.
sanded first with 120 to clean it up, 220 to smooth it up, then 400 ...then finished it off with a sisal polishing wheel with black emory.
the forks were done the same way....but 400 sandpaper only...no polishing wheel. doing the 3 rings at the top kinda sucked....especially taping them off before spraying the black. everything has a coat of clear over it.

In case you are curious what they looked like before I started.
