The insides will get substantial amounts of dirtiness even if you used dustless pads/shoes, due to the swirling motion of air passing the rim depositing road dust inside it.

The outsides - If you use acrylic, or plexi-based plastic compounds, it will scratch if you look at it funny.

Best bet is formed lexan, and even that will scratch sooner or later. It's easy to polish though.
