Haven't done any wheel fettling for a few years now, but I used to get them blasted, then the usual anti-rust stuff and then spray them silver, mind you this was on my 1969 Hillman Hunter

Don't know about the modern wheel finishes, but to be honest, if mine were as bad as you describe yours, I'd get 'em done professionally, no question. Mine had been refurbished by a proper place before I bought my car and they're as good as new now – just like the factory ones when new.

Don't waste your time pi55ing about – you'll not get as good a finish IMO.

There's a franchise called Wicked Wheels that will visit - have a search on PH and Google.
