I started with 180 grit sand paper to smooth out the face of the wheel and all of the dents/scratches/rash... then went over them with 220. I started wet sanding with 320... went to 400, 800, 1200, and 2000. After the 2000 the finish looks a little hazed so you just hit it with some Mothers Aluminum Wheel polish and you're done.

Expect lots of blisters to get the lips cleaned up.

Opinions??? Keep in mind the tires are slightly larger than what the car needs.
