Your best bet to get them looking "new" is to paint them. It's cheap and effective. Black, silver, gunmetal, whatever you want. All it takes is some sandpaper and paint and a couple hours. Under $15 for everything.

I like painting as it is very easy to have a good looking wheel, but polishing up the alloy will look much better it will have a shine instead of a painted look, I have silver painted stock wheels, and i parked by one with the stock wheels clean and it looks much nicer, but about 100 times more work
