As for what to get, I recommend checking out the last link I posted. Using those compounds and wheels will produce the best results rather quickly compared to sanding with every grit imaginable.

 

Sand off the Clearcoat, and then Use very fine grit wet Metal sandpaper on the Rims, followed by buffing with a polishing compound. I recommend MAAS, as it is the best metal shining compound I've ever used.

 

sanding down the clearcoat will take you ages, get some aircraft remover and apply it per directions and one or two coats will get of all the clearcoat on your rims.
