Very fine steel wool (#000 I think) will clean them up to. Only thing is its not going to stop them from rusting again. Maybe some wax or sealer would help but you know how fun that can get applying all the time.

Nice find !
Really like those Pro/Street Star wheels. I think this can be polished ! But im not to sure that the center cap to the right will be nice again.. Those centercaps are made from thin steel with chrome plating..
