^ what he said...the "machined" aluminum you leave alone to keep it nice n bright...sanding it may scratch it up and look like crap....i'd go black on those, but you can try read and then if you don't like, doin black...not a big deal...you could even dab that paint on with a brush for ease factor if that's what you do

i don't use wheel cleaner - thinkin bout it cuz it sounds like it'd be easier and faster than using spray detailer and wax on them...i spend as much time on those as anything else - kinda annoying, but i'm addicted[8D]

I have a torch red conv with a black top and I just painted mine today! I recently painted the calipers red and with the black rims it looks so sweet! I have the bullets though but with the stock the black will deff look sweet!! 100% go for it!!!!!!!! You will love it! Make sure you take your time masking them off and painting them!!!
