If you're sure they are not clear coated just use OOOO steel wool saturated with Mothers Aluminum Polish and finish off with Semi-chrome polish. Will look like chrome and just need the occaisional clean up after that.

I agree with Master Formula and have also had good luck with Busch's. I do hit them with jewelers rouge with every tire change.
