if the coating isn't hurt just get some aluminum wheel polish and a little elbow grease and they will shine like new, just make sure the aluminum cleaner is safe for polished aluminum wheels.....

Those have been through hell and back. I clean my chrome rims with super fine steel wool #0000, and soap and water. Then I dry them and use Never-dull, on them and buff away. I use light pressure with the steel wool so that I don't tear into the finish, yours may have to be coated again, but scrub it with the steel wool in a unnoticeable area and see if that is just deep dirt or a finish problem.

Mother's works pretty good, but with all that green stuff and curb rash, IDK.

You're best bet might be to remove each wheel when you clean it

Looks like the clear is coming off you might have to strip the Clearcoat just use aircraft stripper let it sit and it should come off
