Try the "Search" feature for polishing wheels. If you don't find anything (you should) let me know and I'll tell you.

if you have access to an orbital sander it's not tedious of a task . First you'll need to remove the clear coat 100 grade sandpaper works great for this step . After ALL paint is off the rim will look scratched up so the polishing process starts with 150 gritt , then 220 , from there move on to wet/dry sandpaper 320 , 400 , 600 , 800 and finally 1000 the more attention to deteil on each step the better the final result . The final step is to polish the rim with a good quality aluminum polish ( extreme work great for me ). If desired you can recoat with clear coat . Time and patience .

Get a hold of turbocoupetimmy farther down on the page, he's trying to sell a set!
I'd recomend "aircraft remover" to take the clearcoat off - alot easier than sanding!
