Probably have to get them re-finished. Looks like the clear coat is chipping off.

You'll have to take them to a wheel shop and they will be able to re do them. They'll probably sand them down to get rid of the scratches and them re-finish them.

i got a couple of those, scratches and clear coat coming off. on one of the rims it's pretty deep too...anyone recommend a place to get these fixed?

also have some front bumper scrapes (from previous owner). is that an easy fix or should i just look for a new front bumper?

I don't think there are any DIY link.

For the clear, you're gonna have to sand the whole wheel and get it completely cleaned. Then probably re-paint it. And then you'll put new clear on.

For the scratches...you can probably fill them with some putty or something...and then follow steps above.

I feel pretty confident in the work I do to my car. I try to do all the maintenance work that I can. I don't think this is something that I would do myself though.

Best of luck to you though.

Those need to be blasted or sanded, re-polished with true metal polishes (not store bought oxidation removers like Mother's metal Polish) and resprayed.
