It can be done, it's just a time consuming process. You have to sand it and then polish it. I would start with 120 grit, then 220, finally 320. Be sure not to sand away any curvature or features in the wheel. Each time you switch grit, you sand 90 degrees to the previous sanding to remove the previous grit sanding scratches. After 320 grit, clean it well then you will polish it with tripoli compound, clean it again and polish it with white compound. Clean off the residue and now it should be nice and shiney. You can leave it like this or clear coat over the top. Hope that helps...
