Just my opinion, I have seen polished Mahles and didnt like them at all. If you want to do them right. then bead blast them and powder coat them the factory color and be done with it. They look best that way to me. The pedrinis I have seen polished and think they look best that way.

Bead blast them and anodize them again. The anodized coating is better than the clear powder IMHO.
