just a quick sanding to get rid of the rust scale and some thick rust paint will do fine.
 
Have them sandblasted...

1. Remove the beauty rings and the 5 bezels on each wheel.

2. Remove the tire, valve stem and any old wheel weights.

3. Have them sandblasted.

4. Epoxy prime and paint your color of choice.

5. Mount and balance new tires.

6. Polish bezels and beauty rings or find nicer pieces if necessary and re-install.

7. Stand back and admire your work.
