How did you get the center silver part so shiny? did you paint them or just sand them down?

I sanded the whole wheel down and after i painted the inserts and let them dry, I cleared the entire wheel with - I think 3 coats of clear.

Nice, they look great
Anyone who did this, did you start off with 500 grit?
I'm using 400 grit, and I've gone through 3 sheets and I'm not even done the first rim. It's taking me a lot longer than 4 hours to sand it.
At this point, because the rims are curbed pretty bad, I'm just gonna rough it up, bondo some pits, and just paint it.
I have no idea how you sanded it down to the white base coat on all 4 rims by hand.
