Some LIGHT sanding should do the trick, but use caution. Of course like coolduke is saying it will depend on the finish.

I would try some cleaners first then as any sanding will damage the clear coat. If nothing else works a really fine wet sand might do the trick and not damage the finish, however my experience with aftermarket rims is limited to a non clear finish.
