How can I make my wheels shiny?

Well, picked up the 86 GXL yesterday, and I want to make my wheels shine. I think they're the aluminum ones. They're not badly oxidized or anything, I just want them to shine. Any help is appreciated.

Rick

I think the only way to get them to shine is either paint, powdercoat, or polish them.
