Exclamation How do I clean these darn wheels!?

I have just purchased and installed new center caps for my wheels and if you look closely you can see the difference in the color of my stock rims in comparison to the new center caps.

What can I possibly do to get my factory "sawblade" rims looking less dirty and darker then my center caps? I'm going to be getting new rims soon but I still don't want to be rolling around with unmatching factory rims and center caps. And for the record, I have tried all sorts of degreasers on these factory rims and nothing works.
