Looking at the finish of my new wheels now. Ive decieded that i want an anthicite centre and a polished outer (sorry stavs)

What im a bit unsure on is where the paint should stop and the polishing start.

1) Just the face and polish any other bits in sight



or

2) Paint the face and the bits pointed to with the arrow and stop at the indicated black line



Excuse my bad photoshop
