I would say its a matter of personal preference.originally they were kinda satin finish.i bead blasted mine then repolished the smooth surfaces around rim and center of the spokes then clear coated them.

Hey Harm,
The wheel came out nice! Just curious to know where you had the rotor sent out to get resurfaced. I was curious to know what that costs to do. The bike will look sweet with fresh wheels on it.
I kind of hate cleaning the wheels because there are always so many angles nooks and crannys to get at. But they look great when clean.

Actually they are not resurfaced. I put them in a lathe and using a right angle air sander with a scotch brite pad I cleaned them up.
