I second the wheel refinisher route. Especially if you have large gouges and deep scratches.
But rattle can jobs can last years. I did a set of E30 bottle caps that looked beautiful 3 years after completion. That said, it was a complete waste of time. A headache and a half to strip them with aircraft stripper, sand them all, prime, and then paint. 2 week project that came out nice but certainly not something I would do at the current stage of my life. Too many other things to do that would make more sense to spend time on.
