I'd leave it. Silver (polished rims) don't take kindly to dirt/mud/grit. This is why I've been riding on my "budget beater" wheels all year while Archetypes x Phil wheels have been hanging up. If you do go ahead with it I recommend the wheels be black rims/silver nips/black spokes/silver hubs. It will still look good if the hubs and cranks match.
