Number 2! But if it is just the clear, why not get them refinished or powdercoated a different colour??

Go #2, the #1 seems too plain.

Sand back number 2, and spray them wheel silver. You lose the machined finish, but end up with the same finish as AU2 rims, and all for under $50!
Is the car running yet?

Fair enough about the wheels, and amazing about the car starting! Good luck with both.
Oh - I'd go for wheel option 1.
