Can you show a pic of the staining? You might just be able to polish it out yourself instead of going to great lengths and money to redo them.

Oh do please provide us with some advice. I have some haze on one wheel, and the other wheels have hairline scratches from the wintertime sand (no choice since even in late Spring to early Summer we still have sand all over the place).

Mine are formula silver. When asking about the Phantom style, I was told that it looks good, but makes the wheels look small.

Not to go too much off-topic, but it's not that different from how you would fix your paint.

I would start with some good wheel cleaner like Sonax, then give them a good claying (you can even use the wheel cleaner as lube, but your clay will dissolve).

Then take a good polish (as the rims aren't bare aluminum, you can use polish made for paint).
Depending on the damage you can use just a fine polish or a more aggressive polish followed by a finer polish.
To make it easy on yourself you can use a Mother's mini powerball/cone (but don't use their polish).

If the damage is more severe, you can always step it up to wet-sanding them and re-polishing them as described above with aggressive and then fine polish.
