They are corroded. If you really want to, you can try to paint them, but I wouldn't. Just buy new ones and be done with it. You might end up buying new wheels some day so I would say forget about it.

Simple fix, buy new rims and wheels. A used set of bullits and tires can be got for $400 these days.

From the picture, it looks as if it's just the center caps that are messed up. Try salvage yards orhub cap places and you may find a set of nice center caps. That will tide you over until you decide if you want new rims or not.

I agree with silver onyx, The caps only are damaged so get some use ones and spare the $400 for a set of wheels. If you want to clean them up, Several things can work.
Scotch Brite pads or Steel wool, wheels of the same in a drill or stationary polisher.
A body buffer with rubbing compond,
a corrosive wheel cleaner,
wheel paints that will match the silver.
More specifics available.

Good luck.
