But if you want to deal with it, you should really disassemble the wheels. Wetsand with 800, then 1000, then 1500, then 2000, and finally 3000 grit. You can skip 2000 or 3000 if you have a REALLY fast/good buffer but if you're using a drill or something, you need to go all the way to 3000 grit to get it looking good.

When you sand, wetsand and make sure dirt and stuff doesn't get caught in your sandpaper cause it'll scratch the lips. Keep sanding with each grit until you see little to no sanding marks. When you wipe it dry after wetsanding, it'll look like brushed aluminum. There's light sanding marks but it mainly looks very dull. I would guess you'll be sanding each wheel for about 3-5 hours lol.
