Would it be too hard to do polished center and painted edges???

Yes... Because the Centers are a rough casting finish and would take probably 8-10 hours of sanding and polishing per wheel..
The wheel lips come with a smooth machine finish and i polished them up good in less then an hour..

If it were me, ( and this is just my opinion ) I would go with the solid color wheels. To me, with the polished lips there's just too much going on. AND . . . . I'm not a fan of chrome and thats what the polished lips remind me of. But either way, your bike will look fantastic.

Sorry HP, obviously my sarcasm wasn't coming through enough!! But does that mean its doable?
