You can polish them just like any other aluminum. Sanding sanding and more sanding, moving from coarse to finer grit paper, then use a polishing compound. I could imagine trying to get into all the nooks and crannies on those rims.

To speed things up, use some kind of paint stripper on the rims first. Then use a plastic scraper to get the paint off. Dont wanna create any more scratches than you have. Only polsihing ive done was a motorcycle frame and wheels, and they dont have as many tight spots as your rims have, but it still was pretty tedious and time consuming.
