It looks like your wheels may have/had some clearcoat on the lips. Using a metal polish will not bring the shine back. If the clearcoat is still intact and not chipping, a cleaner wax may work to bring back some shine. If the clear is already gone or chipping than you may have to remove all of the clear and use a metal polish!

+1 for Mother's for metal polish. Its good stuff. Ive heard if you use the billet aluminum polish on bare metal, it works alot faster. GL
