they do make a wheel acid, but you have to be really careful with that stuff. i ahve seen the chrome ate off wheels all the way down to the nickel. i dont know if i would recomend using it on a set of polished aluminum or not.

I know that in the detail shop at my dealership we use acid on wheels, you have to be careful on those rims but it gets most of the stuff off, then just do a good hand cleaning. Those rims are really bad for looking like that and holding onto the brake dust so good luck.
