Bead Blasting Wheels

I have some 86 z28 rims which are being bead blasted as we speak to take that coating off which is peeling from the aluminum. Do any of you guys know what theese will turn out like, ever done it before?

They will look fine, if you leave the sandy look on them and polish the ribs they will look great. You can also paint the area between the polished pieces. Keep in mind that you will need to clear them because without any protection they will corrode pretty fast.
