well i went to autozone and i showed them my rim and they suggested this stuff called MAG CLEANER or something lke that
it did a pretty good job but you can still kinda see some blemishes in them.....today i masked them off and repainted the inner parts of them....so hopefully they will b pretty good looking once i get them on my car

If its pitted, chances are they won't just come out. The pitting is caused from air getting in when the rims were made, so there really isn't anything you can do unfortunately. If you sand them, you may actually make them bigger.
