polishing wheels

I bought my 2008 red Sport Trac Adrenaline about a year ago. I absolutely love it although I'm usually a Chevy guy.

Being in Canada we use a lot of salt on the roads in the winter. I think the previous owner never switched to snow tires with plain rims and I am wondering how I can clean the rims up.
I am a little **** about clean, polished rims. Any suggestions On how I can get these rims cleaned up? Are they too far gone?



I am more concerned about the outside of the wheel rather than the inside which can't be seen.
