Curbed rims?

What would be the process to go about fixing and refinishing a slightly curbed wheel? (aluminum)



My best guess would be to sand w/ real rough sandpaper, followed with a higher0grit. Then use some kind of metal polish. Then reclear?



I'm painting a spare set of wheels I have, leaving the lips polished. I was going to lightly wetsand the lips of all the wheels, polish, and then clear the entire wheel together. I would like to smooth out some of the curbed areas of the wheels in the mean time too.
 
It might be best to contact a wheel refinishing company as see what their process is in refinishing. If you can duplicate that on your own , then do it.
 
I actually found an article on here shortly after posting that had a decent write-up. I don't know if it will work for what I'm trying to do or not since the article was about repairing a painted wheel, but I got some good ideas from it.



BUT any input from anyone else is GREATLY appreciated!!
