    dont use anything to harsh,

    or you'll be primering the hell out of them to get a smooth finish...

    How about getting a scrap alloy off another car and seeing how you progress? Start off gently and keep checking the wheel to see how it works out each time, perhaps test spraying with primer after each trial. You might save yourself from a big job or overdoing it that way.
