I'm in the engine turned camp. I polished the heck out of my wheel spokes and had them beautiful, then clear coated them. They look great in the absolutely correct light coming from the right angle. Veer off that just a few degrees and a world of weirdness appears, from scratches in the clear coat to refraction of the orange peel of the clear coat. At least with the clear coat they don't get cloudy or show finger prints as they did before I coated them. I've thought about stripping them and engine turning them from time to time. Engine turning was big in Ford T-Birds, some late 50's-early 60's Chebby Impalas, Firebirds and a few other cars. It looks classy in the right place and I think could accent a custom wheel.

Good luck with your decision, Lane. It'll look great either way.
