Can Anodize wheels be polished?

Can Anodize wheels be polished? Yes its weird, but I am growing tired of my Work S1R wheels. I have them for sale locally, but if able to polish them, will most likely keep them.

I tried to polish out some stains from a wheel cleaner on a set of anodized Fikse wheels. It did very little to change anything.

You would have to strip the anodizing.

Excuse my Noobness, but is it possible to look like this top image of the polished lip?

Are you talking about the center or the barrel?

Yes, I know. I meant since the pic you posted was a silver center with polished lip did you want the wheel to look like the barrel or the center? Assuming barrel, I think it should be doable.
