Looks like a class finish. Fair play. But what will you do then with the inside of the rim?
Paint it or manually sand it and polish it too?

That Joe is a great fella. :D I had a look at these at the camping weekend and they looked very good.I will have to call over with a set of Mambas some day as I do not fancy having to hand polish the rim.
Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.
