Yeah do what I did and put paint stripper on the rims. Cleans them up nicely just keep in mind that the stiripper has mild acid in it and yes it burns when you touch it and yes it eats your paint and tires if you are not carefull. Well in the tires it just leaves a mark for a month or so. Depends on how strong the acid is. Or you can go through the work and polish them.

Do a search on polishing rims.. you can either just strip them or if you want em really nice, polish them. The search button is your friend.
