You are a mad man I did this with a set of brushed pipes on a motorcycle and it took a week to do one pipe. I couldn't even imagine doing that on a set of wheels, but they look freaking great man and awsome right up.

Polishing is very painstaking, unless you pay someone to do it professionally.

There is one more thing I thought of the other day; what if you sandblast them, with fine glass beeds, so the machine marks are gone, but it isn't as rough as the method I used. This way, the sanding wouldn't take so long.
